Rene Bourque has concussion, not flu
Rene Bourque - W - Montreal Canadiens
March 1, 2013 - 8:20 PM ET

The Montreal Canadiens revealed Tuesday that Rene Bourque is dealing with a concussion and not the flu, as originally suspected.

Bourque missed the last two games with what the team called flu-like symptoms, but coach Michel Therrien announced Tuesday that tests showed Bourque is suffering from a concussion. Therrien also said neither the team nor Bourque know when he would have suffered the head injury, which is a bit frightening in itself. We'll list Bourque as day-to-day for now, but as with all head injuries no one really knows when he'll be back.
