Chicago Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov will miss 3 to 4 weeks with a lower-body injury, coach Joel Quenneville announced Wednesday.
The timetable would likely put Anisimov out for the rest of the season. However, backup goaltender Scott Darling was given a three-week window for his return and was cleared after 10 days.
Anisimov suffered the left leg injury in the waining seconds of the first period against the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday. Anisimov laid on the ice for several minutes after after Canadiens winger Alexander Radulov pinned him against the boards.
