Injury Report: Injuries Thread | Bear (Head), Lagesson (Wrist), Kassian (Hand/Weeks), 4K (CollarBone/Months)

[Jimmi McJenkins]

They might have decided to not run him in back-to-backs as well, now that I think about it. He *is* just coming back from a concussion after all, maybe this is part of that on-going protocol? I am well out of my depth here though, talking about head-injuries, lol

Could be that too, not sure. I tend to think it's probably shot block related. You know how swelling is when you fly right? So maybe he had a bruise or something, it blew up on the plane so it might make him a game time decision, when normally with a day in between, he would most likely be fine.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

What is going on with Russell? He is injured AGAIN? Jeebus, the guy can't catch a break. If can't go, Lagesson draws back in on the 3rd pair I guess?

Blocked a shot last night and didn’t play the 3rd period.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

According to Jack Michaels, Neal is back in tonight.

Nice!

I only listened, but I was wondering about that, I thought he just didn't touch the puck as they were resting guys down the stretch.

His shins and feet must be one giant bruise.

And add the pressurization of flying to that, his leg probably looks huge, lol

Bruised balloons lol.

Debrusk mentioned it right near the end of the preds game that he went down the tunnel and didn't return. I had to rewind to hear who it was. It was K. Russell. Hopefully he's good enough to play or they keep him out. Lagesson fills in well IMO.

 

[Del Preston]

yeah he got hurt on that shot block that he managed to pass the puck which led to a goal

Right arm I think.

Gotcha, thanks for update. Guy can't catch a break this year for sure. Yet another reason why Klefbom can't come back fast enough.

Who do you scratch for Neal? Its going to be AA isint it? Tippett seems to love Chiasson.

I mean you could slide Neal back to the top line:
Ennis/McD/Neal
Nuge/Drai/Yammo
Haas/AA/Kassian
Chiasson/Sheahan/Archie
I suck at this. Tippet is good.

 

[The Nuge]

Khaira.

Ennis - McDavid - Kassian
Nuge - Drai - Yamo
AA - Sheahan - Neal
Archi - Haas - Chiasson

it’s a great problem to have. That’s an actual quality 3rd line for the first time in how long?

Has to be Chiasson. Neal slides into his place on the PP. Khaira remains on the PK.

Well it's a good thing it wasn't Chaisson they took out against Dallas

Klefbom must be getting close to returning. Excited to see a healthy lineup.

It's been pretty quiet on the Klefbom front from what I know. Somebody said that he was a maybe for this road trip a few days ago though, so be must be at least somewhat close you would think. It *is* Klefbom though, so they could announce he's out for another month, and I don't think anybody would bat an eye.

A positive came out of his injury(much like it did with McD's):
Caleb Jones has shown that he can handle extra minutes , and we did not fall out of the playoffs, nor did our PP take a huge hit, nor did our pk get worse.

Getting a healthy Klefbom back is almost like getting a top 4 defensman added to the line up. I cannot wait until Bouchard is ready to go, he is custom made for Klefbom.

Stauffer said Klefbom will be in for the home stand at the latest.

Makes sense really. The Columbus game would put him at roughly 2.5 weeks, and the original estimate was 2-3 weeks.

 

[McJadeddog]

No news on klefbom yet. Oh well, I guess it will have to wait until the home stand

They haven’t had their morning skate yet so still could be announced that he plays today or is a game time decision.

 

[McJadeddog]

Still nothing about Klefbom. I'm guessing we'll know more after tomorrow's morning skate I suppose.
