  "account": "Montreal Canadiens forward Chris Kreider will be sidelined for about six to eight weeks due to a lower-body injury, the team disclosed on Saturday. Kreider left Thursday's 5-2 triumph over the Boston Bruins in the third period after a collision with Michael Eyssimont in the neutral zone, causing the veteran winger to fall into Kreider's legs. The 35-year-old American, who signed a one-year, US$2.15-million contract (with potential bonuses up to $3.25 million) on September 12, has contributed three goals and six assists in 19 games this season, marking his 15th NHL season.",
