Desjardins (lower body) will miss 4-to-6 weeks coach Joel Quenneville announced Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Desjardins was placed on injured reserve in order to clear up space for the Opening Night roster. The winger's limited production, 13 points in 77 outsing last season, makes him a low-end fantasy option. The 30-year-old's value drops even further when considering his lack of minutes on the power play. Brandon Mashinter will likely see an uptick in minutes with Desjardins sidelined.
