The mysterious ‘upper body injury’ took a turn for the good for once, Tomas Vanek, who originally was out for ‘weeks’, might be ready to this weekend. Sabres fans and fantasy owners take breath a sigh of relief. If he’s not ready to go Adam Mair or Daniel Paille may take his spot on the 1st line.
Colorado Avalanche defenceman John-Michael Liles left Tuesday nights game against the Leafs, and will be out of the lineup for about 2 weeks with a bruised shoulder. It was originally thought that he might have separated his shoulder, which would have meant he’d be out a lot longer.
Columbus Blue Jackets Dman, Jan Hejda could be out 2-4 weeks with a sprained medial collateral ligament. This shouldn’t have much fantasy impact.
Some not so surprising news, Martin Havlat could be out with a groin injury.
The Red Wings may be without Pavel Datsyuk. He’s day to day with an upper body injury. “An MRI on Wednesday showed “nothing significant,” general manager Ken Holland said.”
What is with all the injuries this season. It seems like every day there is something to report, and it’s happening to some pretty big names.
