The Golden Knights placed center Pierre-Edouard Bellemare on the injured-reserve list Monday.
Bellemare landed awkwardly into the sideboards near center ice in the first period of Saturday’s 6-3 win over Montreal. He twice tried to remain in the game, but was shut down for good in the second period. He was seen holding his left wrist or hand when he initially came off, and the team is calling it an upper-body injury.
“He’s an important player for us,” coach Gerard Gallant said of Bellemare, who has played in 55 games and has five goals and eight assists.
