Having played only five games last year, all signs indicate that the former captain of the Montreal Canadiens will be sidelined for several more weeks. His new head coach with the Washington Capitals, Spencer Carbery, states that Pacioretty will miss at least the first two months of activities for the upcoming campaign.
No return date has been set at the moment, as his return to the game could happen in November or December, if his rehabilitation goes smoothly.
With just over a full season played in three years, totaling 92 games, let's just say his injury history is starting to be concerning, and the Caps clearly want to take their time before considering getting him back on the ice.
This will be a situation to watch in the early weeks of the season's schedule.
