Walking Wounded

As the old saying goes -- "when it rains it pours."

First Taylor Cera suffered a high ankle sprain during Friday's game with Drexel, now Matt Kirstein is out after straining a MCL in his knee during Tuesday's practice.

What makes it worse is that both Taylor and Matt had just returned from groin injuries. Both are expected to be out of the lineup for at least a month, likely longer. The big problem when they return will be conditioning.

As Scott Balboni told me, the injuries will give some of the new Icers a chance to step in, get some playing time and perhaps have an impact. We saw a similar situation last year, giving Marek Polidor and Taylor a chance to impress the coaches.
