The Montreal Canadiens announced Friday that defenseman David Reinbacher will be out of action for four weeks due to a broken metacarpal bone.
The injury occurred during Thursday night’s preseason matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, where Reinbacher logged 17 minutes and 40 seconds of ice time. Following medical evaluation, the team confirmed the extent of the injury and the expected recovery timeline.
Reinbacher’s absence is a setback for the Canadiens’ defensive lineup, as the young blue-liner was expected to play a key role in the upcoming season. The team has not yet revealed who will fill his spot during his recovery.
The Canadiens’ medical staff will continue to monitor Reinbacher’s progress, with hopes of a full return once the four-week rehabilitation period concludes.
