from SportsTicker via the National Post,
Due to an unspecified nagging injury, Carolina Hurricanes captain Rod Brind’Amour returned home Wednesday and will miss the team’s upcoming games in San Jose and Phoenix.
The Hurricanes would not describe the specific nature of Brind’Amour’s problem, saying only that it was a lower body injury that has been bothering him for a number of days.
Carolina coach Paul Maurice did say the injury is not related to Brind’Amour’s knee problems....
The Hurricanes also announced Wednesday that right wing Scott Walker will be placed on injured reserve with an upper body injury.

Brind’Amour’s had some injury “bothering him for a number of days” my ass. How about all season? His legacy is not to be questioned, nor is his still amazing faceoff win %—but something has been wrong with Brindy for months (again meaning all season). It’s going to be interesting to see what the Canes—specifically Staal and Sutter—do without Mr. Brind’Amour in the lineup.
