It’s four games, rest up and then an extra two weeks. No need to rush it.
Much rather he do that than force himself back early and get more injured
lotta guys banged up, lets just get to the break. maybe anders will find a Lazarus pit
So unfortunate this happened right as him and duclair were finding their flow together.
Not sure whose spot he would take if he came back beforehand. 4th line has been buzzing the last week or so
I think they learned from Bo’s injury that it’s better to give it a little extra time. There’s no need to rush back when we are still competing well.
Ritchie just can’t catch a break this season. Lagging development which has put him in and out of the lineup and now won’t be playing for a month because of an injury
