Cammalleri Out Six Weeks
Montreal’s Mike Cammalleri will be missing six weeks of action thanks to a knee injury, but the silver lining of that seemingly dark cloud lies with the fact that he won’t need to have surgery.
Cammalleri fell awkwardly into the boards after being hit by Ottawa’s Anton Volchenkov on Saturday night.
Cammalleri apparently knew what was up immediately. “I knew it was my knee right away,” he told reporters after the Canadiens’ practice. He added that he felt a “similar feeling” when he injured his other knee.
“I got hit pretty hard too so I had to figure out where I was first,” he said. “I’ve had a few injuries before and it teaches you how to deal with these things a little better. You try and stay as upbeat and as positive as you can.”
The Habs will certainly miss Cammalleri for those six weeks, as the sniper’s been piling up points in Montreal. He leads the team with 26 goals in 56 games and has really found his stride as a Canadien. He’s banking on the Habs keeping the pressure on with a good team game and hopes to return to a team ready to make a run at things.
“Early in the year, we had a lot of injuries and we found ways to kind of band together and scratch out some wins against some good teams and there will be a lot of the same here. I’ve got a lot of confidence in our group here,” Cammalleri said.
