MAJOR: Juraj Slafkovsky's health condition is worrying, and it's bad
Juraj Slafkovsky has had quite a breakout in his second year with the Canadiens. His 20 goals and 50 points in 82 games speak for themselves.
However, he's often been seen with a knee brace, and he's missed many training sessions to receive treatments.
Nevertheless, he's played every game and has always been competitive.
His season isn't over yet, as he's supposed to join his Slovakian team in Finland for the World Championship. Unfortunately, his departure from Montreal is delayed because he still has health issues.
"Hopefully everything is alright with Juraj Slafkovsky.
Juraj Slafkovsk� is expected to join the Slovak National Team later than anticipated. He needs to undergo some medical procedures in Montreal first."

We don't know the extent of the situation, but one thing is for sure, it's worrying. Juraj is very eager to represent his country; he's a star there.
The fact that he has to stay in Montreal for medical procedures is concerning, as he would usually take the first flight to join his compatriots.
