Montreal Canadiens forward Michael Bournival suffered a shoulder injury in the team's 2-1 shootout win against the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday night.

Playing in his second NHL game of the season, Bournival was driven hard into the boards late in the first period by Sabres centre Cody McCormick.

Bournival, 22, who played in Montreal's 5-0 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday, immediately grabbed for his left shoulder.

He did not return to the game.
