Canadiens’ Zachary Bolduc day-to-day with lower-body injury

The winger is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, the Canadiens said Friday. The team’s opener is Wednesday in Toronto against the Maple Leafs.

The Canadiens acquired Bolduc in a trade with the St. Louis Blues for defenceman Logan Mailloux on July 1.

Bolduc, 22, had 19 goals and 17 assists in 72 games with the Blues last year, his first full season in the NHL.

The native of Trois-Rivieres, Que., was picked 17th overall by the Blues in the 2021 NHL Draft. He was a two-time 50-goal man with the QMJHL’s Quebec Remparts.
