Pearson (upper body) is expected to miss at least a week according to coach Bruce Boudreau, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Depending on the length of his absence, Pearson may be hard-pressed to get back over the 40-point threshold for the fourth time in his NHL career. Prior to his absence, the winger was struggling offensively with just one goal in his last 11 contests while putting 20 shots on net.
