Default Update: Busy time ahead in Canadiens clinic

After going much of the season with little serious injury trouble, the Canadiens are staring at a few problems this morning, with tests and rehab ongoing. We'll report more later in the day, officially an off-day for the team, when we have the information. But with three games left in the regular season, things aren't pretty:
• Captain Saku Koivu, defenceman/forward Mark Streit and D Francis Bouillon all will put their feet up for the medical staff today or tomorrow. Koivu and Streit took shots off the foot Friday in Buffalo, and though both played that entire game, they sat out last night's 4-2 loss in Toronto. RDS reports that Koivu wore a foot brace and used crutches to board the team's charter home last night.
• Bouillon was drilled in the right instep by a shot in last night's third period and did not return to action. Leaving the dressing room, he told François Gagnon of La Presse that he was hit in precisely this spot during Monday's home-ice win over Ottawa.
• D Mike Komisarek continues to rehab a hip injury, suffered March 20 in Boston. The original prognosis was for him to miss three weeks.
• F Guillaume Latendresse didn't make the trip to Buffalo and Toronto, suffering neck spasms.
The Canadiens had practice time scheduled today at the Bell Centre, but they won't use it. They'll skate tomorrow late afternoon, then bus to Ottawa for Tuesday's game against the Senators. The Habs need just one more point between now and their final game of the regular season, next Saturday at home vs. Toronto, to clinch the Northeast Division title.
