General Hockey Talk - Injuries, signings, factoids + other news from around the league

Some injury updates:

Habs' D-man Davis Drewiske out 5-6 months after shoulder surgery (originally injured in camp and expected to miss 4 weeks). Tinordi and Beaulieu's cups of coffee just got super-sized.

Evander Kane was injured at practice and had to be helped off the ice, putting no pressure on his right leg.

JVR missed Tuesday's game with a UBI and then left practice early yesterday.

Jimmy Howard has a bruised hand and is questionable for tonight; Mrazek has been called up.

Thomas is probable for tonight against the Bruins. Should be fun.

I didn't realize this, but the Rangers open the season with *9* games on the road. They got their 2nd win in 6 games last night as Lundqvist shut out the Caps, and they have 3 more games before their home opener. And then they play 3 games in 4 nights. And we thought *our* schedule was stupid.

This is because MSG is being renovated.
