Montreal Canadiens striker Paul Byron left Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers, predicting a serious injury.
Byron will have to pass medical tests on Monday.
Team head coach Claude Julien confirmed that Byron was not injured in the shoulder, but in the forearm. The latter could have been hit seriously by conceding a defeat of Matt Benning during the second period. The forward player headed into the locker room furiously, hitting the bay window behind his training bench.
Byron will be passing other exams today but do not put your mortgage on a presence tomorrow vs. Anaheim. It's not the shoulder.

Byron has 10 goals and nine assists for 19 points in 36 games this season. He had been sidelined for 14 games by a lower-body injury earlier in the campaign.
The Habs will host the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
