Janne Laukkanen was playing floor hockey during the off-season and injured his knee. He is expected out till at least November. I will pass on info as I hear it.

Mario Lemieux has announced that he will sit out all of the away game halves of back-to-back games (2 nights in a row) This is the equivalent of a little less than one quarter of the season.
