Separated Shoulder??

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette is speculating that the shoulder of Evgeni Malkin may have been separated in his collision with John LeClair. Dave Molinari, PG hockey writer, says that he has heard this speculation from "team officials." I guess we will find out. For what it is worth, Malkin was seen leaving the arena in Moncton after the game, he was smiling and did not have a sling on the arm.

Mark Recchi was also injured in the game tonight. He took a stick to the face early in the 1st period. He went to the locker room for a bit and then returned to action for a short time. He ended up going to the hospital when the team sent Malkin and it is being speculated that he may have a broken cheek bone. He was suffering from swelling and blurred vision.

More on these injuries in the morning....
