In addition to a concussion, Pierre-Marc Bouchard has a pulled groin. We bring that up just in case you're wondering how the Wild justified saying that Bouchard missed Saturday's game with a lower body injury. Bouchard would have probably missed the game regardless of the status of his groin injury, but the Wild apparently wanted him to be evaluated before they "used the concussion word." Bouchard was previously limited to just one game in 2009-10 before of a concussion and he didn't return from that injury until December 1st, 2010.
