FA Cup preview: Wrexham in the limelight as campaign kicks off
While Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have a long-term goal of making their way to the Premiership, some success in the FA Cup would be a nice storyline to add to their arc. With the start of the tournament’s first round proper on Friday, they will again get that chance.
The Montreal Canadiens lost forward Juraj Slafkovsky late in their 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The second-year forward left the contest after taking an elbow to the head from Penguins forward Noel Acciari while skating for the puck in the offensive end. The hit occurred with just over three minutes remaining in the third period.
Slafkovksy was seen throwing his helmet in frustration as he went down the tunnel.
The 20-year-old recorded an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in over 17 minutes of ice time before taking the hit. It was the 2022 first-overall pick’s seventh assist and eighth point of the season for the Canadiens.
Montreal took exception to the hit as time expired, with Arber Xhekaj going after Acciari. A scrum ensued, and Canadiens defenceman Jayden Struble fought Penguins defenceman Ryan Graves in the aftermath.
There was no immediate update on the nature or severity of Slafkovsky’s injury from Montreal.
Slafkovsky missed three games in mid-October with an upper-body injury. Saturday night’s game was his third since returning on Tuesday.
