The word is finally out on the nature of Michael McCarron injury. He injured his shoulder during the first team practice of the new year and will be out for the rest of the season, the Canadiens announced today.
McCarron underwent surgery on Wednesday.
Joel Bouchard called the injury at the time an unfortunate accident. Prior to the injury McCarron played some of the best hockey of his professional career this past December for the Laval Rocket, accumulating 13 points in 11 games, and earning a Player of the Month nod from Eyes on the Prize.
