EDGE Analysis

The move effectively rules the blueliner out for Tuesday's game against the Sharks, but he will be eligible to return as soon as Thursday against the Kings. Expect the club to make an announcement when he's ready to return to action, but his absence shouldn't be felt in the vast majority of fantasy leagues given his seven points through 55 games this season.
