Justin Abdelkader was forced to leave Thursday's game after blocking a shot with his foot in the third period but he did return. Abdelkader missedv almost eight minutes of action as he left the game at the 7:16 mark of the third but returned to play two shifts and said after the game that he was fine. Abdelkader has only two goals and six points in 30 games so this post shouldn't affect too many poolies.
