According to Tony Marinaro of the Team 990, Andrei Markov was diagnosed with water in his knee several weeks ago. The knee was drained and now it needs to be rehabbed again. Markov reportedly suffered the setback as a result of training too hard for the upcoming season. The Canadiens aren't expected to comment on Markov's status until the team has their medical tests on Friday, but this sure to cause a stir as the offensive defenseman may not be ready for the start of the 2011-12 campaign.
