Montreal Canadiens Max Pacioretty<\/a>: Captain Down<\/h2>\n

Max Pacioretty<\/a><\/strong> has seen it all with the Montreal Canadiens<\/a> and another dose of adversity came when he suffered a knee injury last Friday. Pacioretty<\/a> is now threatened by the possibility that an injury in a meaningless March game against the faltering\u00a0New York Islanders<\/a>\u00a0turned into an unknown future for him and his team.\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n

Without question, these past few months have been the most trying of Pacioretty\u2019s illustrious 10-year career with the Canadiens. He is player who led the team in goals in each of the last six seasons suffered through two lengthy slumps this season \u2014 scoring only one goal in 22 games between November 14th and January 3rd and only one in his last 15 games. The captain has endured his time in a hotbed market like Montreal.<\/p>\n

It can be miserable.<\/p>\n
