The Habs have come out of their Christmas break with some bad news. Joel Armia , who has been having a great season with 12 goals and 21 points, was injured Monday night against the Winnipeg Jets. There is no exact time frame for his return, but he is listed as week-to-week.

The Habs will continue to be without forward Paul Byron as well. Byron hasn't played since the middle of November. At the time of his injury, he was expected to miss only a few weeks, but it appears he has had a setback. He is also currently listed as week-to-week.

It wasn't quite all bad news for Montreal this morning, however. Jesperi Kotkaniemi , who hasn't played due to a concussion sustained on December 5th, is expected to make his return to the lineup Saturday night versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. The talented young forward has five points in 22 games on the season.
