Golden Knights center Erik Haula is “month to month” with a lower-body injury, coach Gerard Gallant announced Wednesday.
Haula was placed on injured reserve Tuesday retroactive to Nov. 6 when he was injured, and Gallant could not confirm whether Haula underwent surgery.
Haula crumpled to the ice after being driven into the boards near center ice by Maple Leafs forward Patrick Marleau, and Haula’s right leg appeared to buckle.
The 27-year-old was removed on a stretcher and originally the team said he would miss the remainder of the Knights’ road trip, which ended Sunday at Boston.
