Montreal Canadiens forwards Alex Belzile and Sean Monahan are both out for the season, the team said Monday.

Belzile has a fractured right leg and Monahan recently underwent groin surgery.

The team also confirmed that rookie forward Juraj Slafkovsky (lower-body injury) will not return this season.

Out of the playoffs for a second straight season, the Canadiens (30-41-6, 66 points) have five games left.

Belzile, 31, was injured during Montreal’s 3-0 loss to the visiting Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.

Belzile recorded 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 31 games with the Canadiens. He added 26 points (14 goals, 12 assists) in 31 games with the AHL’s Laval Rocket.

Monahan, 28, has been out with a lower-body injury since Dec. 5.

Monahan had 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 25 games in his first season with Montreal after being acquired in an August trade with the Calgary Flames.

Slafkovsky, who turned 19 on March 30, has been out since Jan. 15. His original recovery timeline was three months and the season ends on April 13.

Slafkovsky, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, recorded four goals and six assists in 39 games.
