The IR: Monday

*-> Well it looks like a lot of bad news for several Western Conference teams last night. I'll start with the biggest news being reported by ESPN. Brian Campbell of the Chicago Blackhawks is said to be out for season after being driven into the boards from behind by Alexander Ovechkin. Its rumored he broke several ribs and his clavicle. A major hit to the Hawks blueline. Alexander Ovechkin is most likely going to see a suspension out of this one as Maxim Lapierre was suspended for a similar hit on Scott Nicol. Ovechkin has already done time this season as well.

*-> The Anaheim Ducks have also seen 2 key players go down to injuries. Ryan Getzlaf appeared to reinjure his left ankle after a collision. He left the Ice but returned only to collide again with a Shark. He favored his left ankle both times and is expected to be out for quite a bit. The team has scheduled an MRI for this afternoon. More bad news for the Ducks. Teemu Selanne appeared to have injured his shoulder in the same game as well and left the Ice and did not return. The teams calling it a day to day upperbody currently.

*-> The injury to Rick Nash appears more serious than predicted. He may miss the next 3 weeks with the undisclosed injury.

That's all for now but some interesting rumors after lunch and a KHL report this evening.
