Tuesday's Injury Updates - Sharp, Eberle, Ribeiro...

by Cam Collingwood on Jan 10, 2012 11:24 AM EST in Injury Updates

Bad news for a lot of us as Patrick Sharp is out for 3-4 weeks with a hand/wrist injury.

We're waiting for word on Jordan Eberle's MRI on his injured knee... I have a bad feeling he could be out a while.

Mike Ribeiro is getting his knee checked out and won't play tonight. Hopefully that's all he'll miss.

Al Montoya (concussion) practiced yesterday for the first time in three weeks, so he's making progress.

Florida was hoping that Jacob Markstrom's knee injury was just a tweak but it's sounding like it could be serious... we should know more today.

Mark Giordano (leg) may attempt a comeback later this week... that's a pleasant surprise as when he was injured it looked like he might be out the rest of the season.

The Avs should get Ryan Wilson back tonight after he's missed the last 15 games due to a concussion.

Dustin Penner (back) returned last night after a one game absence due to a unfortunate pancake-eating incident.

Ryan Wilson

do you think his return will negatively impact Stefan Elliott or Kyle Quincey?

Not tonight at least. Johnson (hand) and O’Brien (knee) both out tonight.

Shouldn’t impact Elliott appreciably as they’re very different defenders (defensive tending D vs. very offensive/PP type D [Elliott]).

Probably not for Quincey either as he frequently gets time on the 2nd PP. Might actually help Quincey as he won’t be forced into top pairing minutes which was happening a bit with Wilson out.

hope this helps Q to get back to earlier form
I really like Elliott too, and he looks to be very good defensively as well
does it more like Lidstrom with positioning and anticipation, than the more physical style Wilson employs.
