Marian Hossa left part-way through the second period in Wednesday night’s 3-1 victory over the Kings, after he was hit by forward Jarret Stoll. Initial reports have Hossa missing two weeks with an upper-body injury. Got to love the vague description. Anyways, it sounds like the injury is to either his shoulder or arm. Aggravating his surgically repaired shoulder would be the last thing the Blackhawks need right now.
Loosing a two-way winger of Hossa’s caliber will obviously hurt on both ends of the ice. Coach Quenneville said a player be called-up from Rockford (AHL) to replace right winger before Friday’s game against the Oilers at home. Jeremy Morin would be the ideal choice, but he was hurt over the weekend.
Campbell eying his return
Brian Campbell could return to action as soon as this weekend from a sprained right knee. He started skating over the weekend, and has been practicing with the team. Campbell will play with a knee brace for the remainder of the season, which they say won’t hinder his skating and speed.
