• Canadiens' Jeff Petry: Set for follow-up appointment

  14D ago •

  Petry will have a follow-up appointment to determine whether his finger injury will require surgery, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. Petry evidently had to tape his fingers together in order to continue playing after getting his hand caught in a camera hole during Game 4 of Montreal's second-round series versus the Jets. If he's forced to undergo surgery in order to correct the issue, he could be in danger of missing time at the start of the 2021-22 campaign. The 33-year-old blueliner finished the 2020-21 season with 12 goals, 36 helpers and 164 shots on net through 75 contests.

  06/17/2021 •

  Petry produced an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2. Petry has healed from a hand injury, but he's also battled an upper-body injury in the last week. It was noticeable, as the defenseman's eyes were red, which was later revealed to be a result of a bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhage, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports. That issue doesn't appear to affect Petry's vision or his performance, as he was able to log 20:47 of ice time in the win. He's picked up four points, 22 shots on net, 29 hits and 21 blocked shots through 11 playoff outings.
