Canadiens' Dvorak done for season with torn pectoral muscle

Montreal Canadiens forward Christian Dvorak will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season due to a torn pectoral muscle, the team announced Thursday.

Dvorak missed the club's past two games due to the injury. He didn't make his season debut until Nov. 4 due to a knee injury sustained last March.

The 27-year-old center logged seven points in 25 games this season while averaging nearly 16 minutes per contest. Dvorak is in his third campaign with the Canadiens since being acquired from the Arizona Coyotes for a first-round pick.

He's under contract for one more season at a $4.45-million cap hit.
