News: Bouchard (concussion) has returned to Minnesota after spending the past two weeks in Montreal seeking alternative treatment plans to his injury, the Minneapolis-St.Paul Star Tribune reports. [+]
Impact: Bouchard, who has appeared in just one game this season, hasn't played since October 3 and is still struggling with symptoms from a concussion that occurred last March. His neuropsychologist has run a number of tests on him, and it appears that he did not suffer any brain damage, but a return anytime in the near future is highly unlikely. "Now it's just a question of still getting rid of my symptoms -- the pressure in my head that I still have," Bouchard stated. Don't count on him for much the rest of the way. ( RotoWire - Mon.
