Habs' Harris injured vs. Blues, Blais ejected for boarding

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jordan Harris was unable to return to Sunday's contest against the St. Louis Blues after taking a hit from forward Sammy Blais.

The scary incident occurred in the first period of the Habs' 7-2 loss. Blais made contact with Harris along the boards behind Montreal's net as the rearguard was already falling. Harris struggled to get to his feet and had to be helped off the ice. The Canadiens later ruled him out with an upper-body injury.

Blais was handed a five-minute major and game misconduct for boarding.
