Who else thinks Kuz has a broken wrist or forearm? :-\

Sure looked like a wrist injury. It’s not definite but don’t you think that if it it wasn’t broken, wouldn’t he’d have come back in?

I guess it's possible they kept him out cause we were up 3-1, but that's pretty much what I was thinking too. Guess we'll find out today or tomorrow..
4 Caps:
Kuznetsov is listed as day to day so apparently there are no broken bones. That is good news, if he had broken the wrist he probably would not be ready for the playoffs. He will not play against the Flyers but hopefully will be back against Dallas.
Mickstix:
Day to day sounds good given the circumstances.. They'd of IR'd him if something was broken, no?

Not necessarily, after the trade deadline there is no limit on number of players on the roster. However, they cannot go over the salary cap. So assuming they would call up a player to replace Kuzy they would not have to place him on IR unless it would put them over the salary cap. However, it does not sound like they are going to call up a player. They have two extra forwards as it is. Either Boyd or Stephenson will be the 4th center.
