News: Redden (undisclosed) did not take the ice for warmups before Saturday's Game 5 against the Rangers. [+]
Impact: Redden was able to practice Friday but is going to miss at least one more game. He is nursing an undisclosed injury and has yet to play in the ongoing series against the Rangers. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 25, 2013) |
News: Seidenberg (leg) took the ice for warmups before Saturday's Game 5 against the Rangers. [+]
Impact: Reports leading up to the game indicated that Seidenberg had a good chance to play, and it sounds like he'll be a go. As a result, Dougie Hamilton may be the odd man out. ( RotoWire - Sat. May 25, 2013) |
News: Seidenberg (leg) practiced Friday but is questionable to play in Saturday's Game 5, the Boston Herald reports. [+]
Impact: He was paired during practice with Wade Redden (undisclosed), who is also questionable to play Game 5. If he's cleared to return, he'll likely send Matt Bartkowski or Dougie Hamilton to the press box with Torey Krug already having racked up four points during the series. ( RotoWire - Fri.

News: Ruutu underwent successful surgery on his hip shortly after the end of the regular season, the Raleigh News & Observer reports. [+]
Impact: Ruutu bypassed the procedure during the season, but the hip injury still cost him nearly the majority of the 66-game campaign, as he made his season debut March 21. With the procedure, he'll be ready to go come training camp and should be much healthier heading into this season. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Staal (knee) plans to begin riding a stationary bike next week, the Raleigh News & Observer reports. [+]
Impact: Hitting the bike represents the first step in what is expected to be a three-month rehab process for Staal. It looks like he'll be healed in plenty of time for training camp if his rehab remains on schedule. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: The Carolina Hurricanes say they expect captain Eric Staal to be ready to start next season after suffering a scary-looking knee injury during an international tournament. The team said Staal underwent an MRI on his right knee Saturday and it revealed a third-degree sprain of his medial collateral ligament. [+]
Impact: The Hurricanes say Staal won't need surgery and he should need only three months of rehab. Staal's injury Thursday during the world hockey quarterfinals in Stockholm certainly could have been a lot worse. The captain of Canada's team collapsed to the ice in obvious pain following a knee-to-knee collision with Sweden's Alex Edler. The durable Staal, 28, has missed only 14 games during nine NHL seasons. He led the Hurricanes with 35 assists and 53 points in 2012-13. ( STATS - Sat. May 18, 2013) |
