Roster Moves Lilja recalled; Wellwood to AHL; Meszaros to miss 4 weeks (shoulder)

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Upper body injury.

(It appears to be related to the left shoulder).

Friday Update

General manager Paul Holmgren told the media Friday that defenceman Andrej Meszaros, who was hurt on Thursday night against the Rangers, will miss four weeks with a muscle injury in his left shoulder.

It's a good thing we have something like 27 extra D-men.

Also a good thing that it wasnt his knee

[Roo Mad Bro]

Supposedly his left arm was in a sling.

Wonderful.

[Broad st phantom]

Look like Callahan nailed him in the chest with that elbow, guess not.

[Garbage Goal]

Keep the hits coming. I like MAB, Syvret, and Gustafsson anyhow.

[pughater]

maybe now lilja will play

[Mgkibbles]

Mesz is turning into our Colaiacovo

[RoDu]

MAB still has a virus, Gus foot isn't ready, maybe oh no, Foster and Gervais at the same time

Early word is that it's not good, from Frank Seravalli:

spin the wheel of Phantoms

[JohnnyOnTheSpot]

This season is really starting to look cursed.

[BernieParent]

I'm calling IR as this season's official acronym, with the option of adding LT.

[YuioIklo]

3 injuries in 4 games... Rinaldo, Hartnell, Meszaros. Great.

[Broad st phantom]

That sucks, Mesz seems like he's broken.

[OccupySouthBroadSt]

Sigh...Mesz is brittle.

Doesn't look good with that shoulder at all.....count him out for most of this shortened season

[sa cyred]

Time for that Foster-Gervias 3rd pairing

[Psuhockey]

Goodbye 2nd round pick.

[RoDu]

Did he have any big injuries prior to his time here?

I dunno, maybe it's time to part ways with our glass defender, when is his contract up?

[Vikke]

After next season. It's too bad he's hurt a lot, I really, really like him as a D-man.

[rWoHockeyman88]

What's Kim Johnsson doing? Maybe we can bring him back with Knuble

When I thought "well at least we'll have extras for when the injuries start to come" I was hoping it wasn't going to be 4 games into the season.
