Newfoundland’s own Alex Newhook is the latest NHL star to go down with the injury bug.
Newhook, a St. John’s native, will miss approximately 10-12 weeks due to a high ankle sprain.
The 23-year-old was traded to the Montreal Canadiens from the Colorado Avalanche during the off-season, quickly becoming a key component of the young Habs offensive core with seven goals and 13 points in 23 games.
The sixteenth overall draft selection in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, Newhook won a Stanley Cup alongside the Avalanche in 2021-22.
