TSN Ice Chips

For anyone in hockey pools or if you're just a curious, need-to-be-up-to-date fan, TSN has a section of their website dubbed "Ice Chips" which is apparently devoted to League-wide injury issues. Take a look - http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=10460&hubname=

It mentions Lombardi suffered a high ankle sprain in the game against the Coyotes last night. Some estimates I heard on the radio recently had him out of the line-up for 6-8 weeks! That really sucks for both Matt and the Flames. Going forward, I would expect Byron Ritchie to be a regular in the line-up in Lombardi's absence...not sure if he'll move onto the line with Rhino and Kobasew or if Sutter will mix it up a bit...
