Following the procedure to repair a damaged ulnar collateral ligament, he is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks.
Henrique was a Calder Trophy candidate last season after totaling 16 goals and 51 points in 74 regular-season games and posting five goals and 13 points in 24 playoff appearances.
Thus far, he has tallied five goals and three assists in 16 games for Albany.
