McDonagh (shoulder separation) will not return; Klein (foot contusion) will not return. Will be re-evaluated tomorrow.

Same shoulder for McDonagh as last season. Awful.

Connar Allen coming next.

 

[Hire Sather]

Looks like 4-6 months is worst case if theres surgery.

Big trouble.

 

[KotsyJr]

Fml.

 

[Trxjw]

Waiting to see the prognosis before jumping out a window. Really tough losses.

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

This blows big time.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

Didn't DeKeyser come back from a separated shoulder after a month out?

i don't think thats accurate ... or i just don't want to believe it ... idk lol

I think it depends on the grade.

 

[gary laser eyes]

I think it depends on the grade.

Grade 1: 2-4 weeks

Grade 2: 4-6 weeks

Grade 3: 6-8 weeks and could require surgery. Surgery would mean 4-6 months.

Pretty sure this is the standard for shoulder injuries. I'm no expert though and every case is different.

 

[KingWantsCup]

Half our starting defensemen are injured. Half.

Rangers have to make a trade here, no? The farm can only help so much.

 

[Krams]

Gotta laugh at this point lol

 

[Baby Punisher]

Damn sucks big time.But we are resilient, we will prevail.

 

[silverfish]

Expecting a trade tomorrow to bring another body in.

[Cassano]

Surely this means McIlrath gets called up, right?

 

[Doctyl]

Surely this means McIlrath gets called up, right?

More likely he gets traded for Sekera

 

[PavelBure9]

This is McIlraths and Allens chance. Right here.

This could be a disaster and we could be royally screwed for th next couple of weeks.

Or, the extremely rose colored way of looking at it is that they both play well and now we will have a plethora of NHL defenseman, although that is the best case scenario.

I honestly think we are going to be murdered in that Blues game now,

 

[Cassano]

More likely he gets traded for Sekera

I'm okay with that!

 

[Baby Punisher]

Expecting a trade tomorrow to bring another body in.

I'm not. They Will try to tread water until Moore and Klein come back, and look what's on the waiver wire. I think nothing happens for a week trade wise.

 

[eco's bones]

I'm expecting McIlrath and Allen up. Not sure how long Klein is going to be out. Probably not that long. Moore with 4 more games. Boyle maybe a couple weeks away. I'm thinking Sather will see what a couple kids can do before he trades for anybody.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I'm not a doctor but I have seen really varying ranges to return from a sep shoulder.

It's not good. And the worst case is bad. But without knowing the severity its early to panic.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

I really hope this shoulder will not haunt McD's entire career. On the bright side Staal looked amazing.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Allen has been good in Hartford so far, so he'd probably get first call-up over McIlrath. He can play both sides as well, just like Hunwick.

 

[DarthSather99]

Doesn't Boyle come back soon? next week?

 

[eco's bones]

Allen has been good in Hartford so far, so he'd probably get first call-up over McIlrath. He can play both sides as well, just like Hunwick.

Allen would be the first call up ahead of McIlrath anyway just because he's more of a left side guy. McDonagh is definitely out. There's a left side hole. McIlrath isn't the guy to fill that hole. He's a right sider.

How bad Klein's injury--he might be back on monday. Then again if anything is cracked he might be out longer than McDonagh. But if it's just a bruised foot--he'll probably be back in two or three games.

The timing couldn't really be worse. 15 games in 29 days. Girardi is a warrior and can play a ton of minutes. Staal has been through that before too. There's not much offense there though. I'm figuring Boyle's at the least two weeks away. Moore--4 games away.

It is an opportunity for one or two of our prospects to show they're for real. Adversity can have some silver linings. The old cliche--what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
