The playoffs have officially ramped up a few notches...
The Montreal Canadiens have confirmed that defenseman Andrei Markov has returned to Montreal to receive treatment for an injury suffered Friday night in their Game 1 loss to Pittsburgh.
Markov was hurt when he was checked into the boards by the Pittsburgh Penguins' Matt Cooke. Markov fell awkwardly into the boards, threw one of his gloves into the air and was in visible pain on the ice as some of his teammates went after Cooke.
Markov stayed down for several minutes before being helped off the ice, putting no weight on his right leg when he was exiting.
No word on a diagnosis, other than the anticipated "lower-body injury..."
Here's the injury...
John Forslund and FOSG Darren Eliot on the call...
