Those Hits? They Just Keep On Comin’: Stuart Out Until Playoffs

And maybe longer.
Brad Stuart is out for the rest of the regular season, and possibly the start of the playoffs, with a non-displaced fracture in one of his fingers, general manager Ken Holland said. It happened during the third period of Wednesday’s game when he blocked a shot. They’re not revealing which finger or which hand.
Holland said doctors told him Stuart would be out three-to-six weeks. The team believes it’ll be closer to three weeks. He’ll resume skating by the middle of next week.
Well that pretty much sucks. The DDC also reports that none of the injured forwards will be returning tonite and that Chris Chelios will move up to the second defensive pairing with Niklas Kronwall. Strange, since he was “competing for that 6th spot,” eh?
The train is open, as you know. But before you board, consider this. Stuart had no problem jumping right into the system when he was dealt here and he’ll be skating consistently while his digit heals. As long as he’s back for the playoffs, I’m not going fetal about it.
