Therrien: Markov out at least 1 more week
by from on (#29G4G)
Andrei Markov needs a little more time.
Speaking Thursday, Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien announced that the veteran blue-liner is still sidelined on a week-to-week basis with a groin injury and will be out at least one more week, reports Eric Engels from Sportsnet.
Markov was originally diagnosed as day to day. However, he has not played since Dec. 17, missing 15 games.
Therrien explained that the reason Markov is no longer skating is because the injury stopped improving, so they dialed it back.
