MONTREAL (December 3, 2010) – The Montreal Canadiens today announced that defenseman Andrei Markov will undergo knee surgery on Wednesday, December 8. The surgery, to repair a meniscus and reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), will be performed in Alabama by doctor James Andrews.

 

“ We are very confident that Andrei will be able to fully recover from this injury ”, said the Canadiens’ general manager Pierre Gauthier.

 

The 31-year old Russian defenseman will not return this season. Markov suffered a knee injury during the November 13 game against Carolina at the Bell Centre, and missed the team’s last nine games. Markov registered 3 points (1 goal, 2 assists) in seven games with the Canadiens this season. He missed the first 10 games of the season, from October 7 to 29, due to a knee injury suffered on April 30, 2010.
