Peverley was hurt during a knee-on-knee collision with Canadiens defenseman Hal Gil during the Bruins 4-3 shootout win Wednesday night in Montreal.

“It’s unfortunate,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “He logs a lot of minutes during the game. With (Nathan) Horton out already, those are two guys that play a lot of minutes for us. It’s going to be a challenge for us. That’s just part of the game.”

Peverley has nine goals and 28 assists through 49 games this year.
