The Montreal Canadiens are dealing with injury issues on their blueline, and training camp is still more than a month away.
The Montreal Gazette and RDS report that defenceman Francis Bouillon experienced pain in his knee last week when he started skating and will fly to Vail, Colorado, to be examined by a doctor.
The Gazette adds that defenceman Mark Streit is suffering from tendinitis in his knees, which may be the result of too much time on the stationary bike.
The Canadiens re-signed Bouillon to a $5.63 million, three-year contract after he posted career highs in assists (19) and points (22) last season.
Streit played in 48 games during his first NHL season, scoring two goals with nine assists and 28 penalty minutes.
