The NHL GREG PATERYN OUT EIGHT WEEKS WITH A FRACTURED ANKLE A day after he broke his ankle, Montreal defenseman Greg Pateryn was back at the Canadiens' practice facility trying to skate through it. He eventually resigned himself to the fact that he couldn't and was placed on injured reserve Dec. 7. He is expected to be out eight weeks.
