Andrei Markov will stay off the ice for the next three games, Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien announced Tuesday.
Markov, 38, has missed the past three games with a lower-body injury.
Therrien confirmed that Markov will not join the team on its current six-game road swing, with the next three matches against Tampa Bay, Florida, and Pittsburgh.
Markov has appeared in 31 games this season and has recorded two goals and 19 assists.
