MONTREAL - Alex Galchenyuk scored twice as the Montreal Canadiens beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Thursday night for a second consecutive win, but lost defenceman P.K. Subban along the way.
The game was delayed in the dying minutes as Subban had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher.
Subban was injured when teammate Alexei Emelin ran into him, knocking him on the side of the head with his back side while retrieving the puck in Montreal's corner.
Montreal's star defenceman spent eight minutes laying motionless on the ice as the team's trainers and doctors tended to him.
