Canadiens Forward Ivan Demidov Out 2-4 Weeks with Lower-Body Injury

The 20-year-old has one goal and one assist in two games, and the team said he could miss 7 to 12 games.

  • The Montreal Canadiens announced on October 6 that forward Ivan Demidov will be sidelined for two to four weeks with a lower-body injury, removing a key contributor from the active roster.
  • Demidov reportedly struggled after taking a shot off his foot 15 days ago during a preseason game against the Senators, managing the issue with multiple therapy days since training camp.
  • The 20-year-old has already recorded a goal and an assist in two games this season, including the tying goal in a recent game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, building on his Calder Trophy-contending rookie year.
  • Missing between 7 and 12 games, Demidov's absence forces the lineup to adjust, though the team has not disclosed further medical specifics beyond the standard lower-body designation.
  • Canadiens officials hope to have the winger at full strength by the end of his recovery, as this short-term absence represents a key stretch for the team's season.
