The big hit that Slafkovsky took did not knock him down, but the collision at such a high speed definitely had the potential to cause some damage.
There is also some rumours going around that Slafkovsky is just being held out because the Montreal Canadiens saw enough of what they needed and just want him ready for Main Camp in a few short weeks.
