Montreal Canadiens rookie Emil Heineman was struck by a car in a pedestrian accident in Utah, resulting in an upper body injury and a projected absence of 3-4 weeks.
Montreal Canadiens forward Emil Heineman will be out of action for three to four weeks after being struck by a car in a pedestrian accident Monday afternoon in Utah. The team announced that Heineman sustained an 'upper body' injury in the incident. His agent, Marcus Isaksson, confirmed to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet that Heineman had injured his wrist in the collision. Salt Lake City police initially received a report of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle at 2:55 p.m. on Monday.
Detective Dalton Beebe stated that the area was searched for both the reporting party and the pedestrian involved, but neither could be located. Police later received information from a nearby business with details potentially related to the accident. Through further investigation, authorities identified the pedestrian as Heineman, a player for the Montreal Canadiens. Beebe reported that Heineman 'did not show any signs of serious injuries and was being attended to by team doctors.' Salt Lake City police confirmed that all parties involved in the incident had been identified, and the Utah Highway Patrol initiated an investigation. The 23-year-old Heineman, in his rookie season with Montreal, has contributed 10 goals and seven assists in 41 games played. He was acquired by the Canadiens from the Calgary Flames in 2022, along with Tyler Pitlick, a conditional first-round pick, and a fifth-round pick in the 2023 draft, in exchange for forward Tyler Toffoli
