MONTREAL — The Montréal Victoire have placed captain Marie-Philip Poulin on long-term injured reserve, the Professional Women’s Hockey League team announced Tuesday.
Poulin has been out since leaving in the first period of a March 15 game against Boston, when she started favouring her right leg after a collision with Fleet forward Shay Maloney.
She injured the same leg in a game against Czechia at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Feb. 9. It forced her to miss two games at the Olympics, and Montreal’s first PWHL contest following the Olympic break.
Poulin is eligible to return to the lineup on April 5.
