Adam in ICU, out 6-8 weeks
In a stunning development, Montreal's Luke Adam will likely miss the remainder of the QMJHL regular season after surgery to repair a ruptured spleen suffered in Sunday's 4-2 win over Baie-Comeau. The winger went straight to the hospital after absorbing what looked to be a harmless check, and was said to have lost about 1.5 liters of blood throughout the ordeal.
In 47 games this season, Adam is second on the Juniors in scoring with 22 goals and 49 points.
