Hunwick (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hunwick garnered a lone assist in the first six games of the season prior to suffering a lower body injury. The blueliner was averaging just 16:59 of ice time per night, which limits his fantasy value, especially considering his absence from the power play. Martin Marincin is the most likely candidate for an uptick in minutes while Hunwick is sidelined.
