Ilya Kovalchuk lost an edge and tumbled heavily into the end boards with 15:31 left in Tuesday's win over Montreal. "It looked almost like the identical play," coach Pete DeBoer said, recalling Kovalchuk's shoulder injury that caused him to miss 11 games. "You cringe a little bit, but he got up no worse for wear." However, in this case he was fine to continue playing and said he was unscathed after the contest.
