Chicago Blackhawks forward Artem Anisimov will miss the next three-to-four weeks due to a lower-body injury, head coach Joel Quenneville revealed on Wednesday.

The injury in question is believed to have been suffered during Tuesday's game against the Montreal Canadiens after an awkward collision with Alexander Radulov. Following the game, Anisimov was seen wearing a walking boot.

The injury is significant and could keep the 28-year-old out of the lineup for the remainder of the regular season.

Anisimov had been enjoying his most productive season to date. His 22 goals ties a career high, while an assist in Tuesday's game helped Anisimov set a career high with 45 points.
