via TSN,
Montreal Canadiens defenseman Andrei Markov, who left Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal after being hit by Pittsburgh Penguins forward Matt Cooke, has been diagnosed with a torn ACL.
Markov, who is out of the Habs’ lineup indefinitely, has not officially been ruled out of the series or playoffs by the Canadiens.

Speaking of Cooke, in three of his last four series he has been responsible for eliminating a key member of the opposition in the first game of each series:
- Eric Cole (ACL)
- Milan Michalek (ACL)
- Markov (ACL)
Way to go, Matt!
