Montreal Canadiens lose core player to injury

Last night, the New Jersey Devils played against the Montreal Canadiens, and the Habs' first overall pick Juraj Slafkovský left the game early with an injury. Take a look below.

It's unknown where exactly Slafkovsky was hurt, but he took a couple of hard hits the shift before he exited the game.

Regardless of the severity of the injury, it's a poor start to the year for Slafkovksy, already looking to rebound from a disappointing rookie year. Hopefully for the player, team, and fans, Slafkovsky's injury is minor and he can continue to develop and play at the NHL level.
