Wednesday's Injury Updates - Bouchard, Michalek, Leino...

by Cam Collingwood on Dec 14, 2011 3:37 PM EST in Injury Updates

Pierre-Marc Bouchard has a busted beak after Bogosian tried to make him kiss the boards but his head seems ok today, so he'll be a game time decision tonight.

The Flyers & Hurricanes both admitted that Claude Giroux & Jeff Skinner have concussions. Oh, and Joni Pitkanen's UBI is a concussion as well. All of them are out indefinitely.

Milan Michalek is also out indefinitely after suffering a concussion last night.

Good news, Ville Leino doesn't have a concussion but is out for weeks with a LBI... well it does makes your decision to bench/drop him a little easier.

Alexander Burmistrov missed last night's game with an undisclosed injury... he's day-to-day.

Nik Antropov also didn't play last night due to a sore foot... he's been pretty unreliable lately.

Matt Cullen and Rene Bourque both missed last night's game with sickness-type symptoms.

Returning to action from the injured list last night: Jordan Staal, Guillaume Latendresse, Ilya Bryzgalov, Chris Campoli, Cal Clutterbuck, Eric Fehr, Paul Stastny & Cody Hodgson.

I would say the jury is still out on Butch's head

Following the cloak and dagger script of releasing concussion information, I expect PMB to be scratched for a week or so with “UBI,” then have the flu for a bit and sometime after Christmas/New Years the team will announce another concussion….

{sigh}

Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
