Montreal Canadiens forward Emil Heineman will be out for three to four weeks due to injuries sustained in a pedestrian accident on Monday night. The team, currently in Salt Lake City for a match against the Utah Hockey Club, has confirmed that Heineman suffered an upper body injury, specifically injuring his wrist when struck by a vehicle.

Heineman, a 23-year-old left-winger, is navigating his rookie season with the Canadiens, where he has made a notable impact with 10 goals and seven assists across 41 games. He was drafted by Montreal in the second round, 43rd overall, during the 2020 NHL Draft.
