Marian Hossa
Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa left Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings in the 2nd period with what Head Coach Joel Quenneville called an upper-body injury. Hossa left the Hawks’ bench after his third shift in the period, and Quenneville said that he did not know exactly how the injury occurred. Chicago went on to win the contest 3-1.
Quenneville said he did not have an estimate for how long the 31-year-old All-Star would be out of the lineup, and added that he would be re-examined Thursday.
UPDATE: Joel Quenneville said after practice on Thursday that Hossa will miss “a couple of weeks,” but his injury will not require surgery.
Hossa has started the season strong for the Blackhawks, tallying seven goals and four assists in the Hawks’ first 11 games before the injury.
