News: Doughty's performance in the Western Conference finals was affected by an ankle injury, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times. [+]
Impact: Dillman's first report indicated that he suffered the injury against San Jose, but she followed up with another tweet to say it actually happened in the series against St. Louis. He now has plenty of time to rehab. ( RotoWire - Sat. June 8, 2013) |
News: Brown played through a torn PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) which he suffered in Game 6 of the series against San Jose, reports ESPN's Pierre LeBrun. [+]
Impact: That explains his struggles -- he didn't get a point after the injury. He did manage to lay 21 hits in five games against Chicago, though, so at least he was contributing something. He'll need surgery and rehab this offseason; a timetable for his return will come. ( RotoWire - Sat. June 8, 2013) |
News: Quick settled in after a shaky start Saturday to deliver 31 saves in a 4-3, double-OT loss to Chicago. He also picked up an assist. [+]
Impact: The first two goals came 2:17 apart and the Kings were down 2-0 by the 5:59 mark of the first. But he settled in and stymied the Hawks' snipers time and time again. Patrick Kane did have his number, though -- the Hawk tallied a natural hat trick on arguably the world's best goalie. ( RotoWire - Sat. June 8, 2013) |
