BROSSARD – Montreal Canadiens forward Florian Xhekaj will be sidelined for another two weeks with a lower-body injury, the team said Friday.
Xhekaj has missed the team’s last three games after appearing in two contests without recording a point.
Meanwhile, winger Juraj Slafkovsky missed practice Friday for what the team called a maintenance day.
The 22-year-old Slovak was shaken up during Wednesday’s game against Washington after taking a hit from Ivan Miroshnichenko and being struck in the head by Tom Wilson.
Slafkovsky returned to the game after a brief trip to the dressing room.
Head coach Martin St. Louis expects him to be available Saturday against Buffalo.
