The injury bug might have bitten the Montreal Canadiens once again.
Forward Jake Evans is being evaluated after suffering an injury at practice on Monday, head coach Martin St. Louis told reporters.
The injury appeared to happen during a drill after Evans made contact with Nick Suzuki. Evans appeared to be in pain before skating off the ice.
The Toronto native has appeared in 17 games for the Canadiens this season, recording two goals and six points.
The Canadiens have faced a slew of injuries this season and are currently without forwards Ivan Demidov and Josh Anderson, defenceman Mike Matheson and goaltender Samuel Montembeault.
They recently faced a prolonged absence from the Selke-winning Suzuki, who made his return to the lineup on Nov. 5.
