Montreal Canadiens defenseman Brett Lernout has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.
Analysis:
Lernout suffered the knee injury during his NHL debut on Saturday, which is a tough blow for the 20-year-old. Considering there's only a few games left in the season, Lernout being ruled out doesn't necessarily offer any insight into the severity of the injury, so it remains unclear how long of a recovery timetable he might have.
