Jokinen out 3-4 weeks … Keith out tomorrow … Horton affected mentally by last years concussion … Brodeur starts … Avery to sit
  • Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer: Hurricanes forward Jussi Jokinen will be out 3 to 4 weeks with a leg injury according to GM Jim Rutherford. Drayson Bowman has been recalled. “It didn’t look good and it isn’t good,” Rutherford said of the injury. “We’ll know more after Jussi sees the doctor again today and the time could change. But it will not change to less time.”
  • James Murphy via twitter: Bruins forward Nathan Horton implied that the concussion he suffered in the finals is affecting him mentally.
  • Corey Masisak via twitter: Lines at Capitals practice: Ovechkin-Backstrom-Ward, Semin-Johansson-Eakin, Chimera-Laich-Knuble, Perreault-Hendricks-Halpern-King (no Brouwer).
  • George Richards via twitter: Panthers winger Scottie Upshall is skating on the 4th line with Bradley and Matthias. Tim Kennedy looks to be the odd man out and could be sent back to the AHL.
