Bournival (shoulder) will miss a minimum of two-to-three weeks, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. Bournival will undergo further testing in the coming days in order to determine a treatment method. The 22-year-old had been a healthy scratch for the Canadiens all season before making his first two appearances earlier this week.

Bournival exited Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. It's not exactly certain what type of setback Bournival is dealing with, but he appeared to injure his shoulder on the play that knocked him out of the game. Expect an update on Bournival's status as more details become available.

Bournival made his season debut Tuesday night, getting off two shots in 8:35 of fourth-line ice time in a 5-0 loss to Chicago. Bournival replacing Travis Moen was one of a few personnel changes implemented by head coach Michel Therrien following Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Flames, but little came of his maneuvering.

Bournival will make his season debut Tuesday against the Blackhawks. Bournival has yo-yoed between Montreal and AHL Hamilton this season, but he is set to see his first action of the season with the Canadiens on Tuesday. He will skate on a line with Brandon Prust and Manny Malhotra.

Bournival was called up from Hamilton of the American Hockey League and is with the team as it opens a three-game swing through western Canada Monday night in Edmonton, Hockey Inside Out reports. Bournival has been up and down twice between the NHL and AHL, but has yet to be active for the parent club.

Bournival was assigned to AHL Hamilton on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. Bournival will stay with Hamilton until Sunday, when he'll rejoin the Canadiens in Edmonton. The 22-year-old has been a healthy scratch for all seven of the Habs' games thus far, so the demotion looks to be just an excuse for the organization to find him some ice time.

Bournival recalled Bournival from Hamilton of the American Hockey League, Hockey Inside Out reports. He had been sent down to the AHL to get some playing time and scored a goal in two games with the Bulldogs. Bournival opened the regular season in Montreal but had not appeared in a game, hence the desire to get some playing time in with the Bulldogs. He rotated in on the fourth line during Monday's practice, and it is not known if he'll suit up Tuesday night against Detroit.

Bournival will play with AHL Hamilton this weekend and rejoin the Canadiens on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports. The 22-year-old center had a quiet season in 2013-14, scoring just seven goals and seven assists in 60 games played for Montreal. Bournival has been a healthy scratch in each of the Canadiens four games this season so the team may be trying to get him some playing time in the AHL. Montreal does not seem to have an established role for him yet so he may be seeing more time as a healthy scratch when he returns to the Canadiens.

Bournival is expected to be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs, Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette reports. Bournival is coming off a rather quiet rookie season (seven goals, 14 points in 60 games) and doesn't look like the Canadiens have established a regular role for him yet. On the nights he's not a healthy scratch, expect him to see usage with multiple line combination as coach Michel Therrien looks to determine where the young center fits in best.

The Canadiens will keep Bournival on the roster to start the season, Renaud Lavoie of Journal de Montreal reports. The center racked up seven goals and seven assists in 60 games last season, and will likely be a depth forward on the Habs roster this year.
