Leaf's Matthews to miss the game tonight with an "Upper body Injury"

Since always so vague, assume its a bad upper body related case of "swollen nostrils"?

I heard it was a shoulder injury due to heavy collar fatigue.

I think the emergence of Brandt Clarke, who is 5th in defensemen scoring so far this year, helps. Including a beauty spinorama on Pietrangelo last week. I'd say he is the front runner for the Calder (edit he isn't eligble after playing 9 games 2 seasons ago, and 16 last season) The Kings had the framework to be a good defensive team. Getting rid of Dubois probably helped them in terms of penalties taken. But Dubois is having a decent season. Nothing special, he'd be tied for 12th on the Jets scoring so far. Connor Mc Michael has taken some key minutes from him though, on the PP.

I don't know if he ever gets back or can even do anything close to what he used to do

Landeskog type situation is that constant reminder that a professional sports career comes with no guarantees. I'm sure those types of situations enter into players minds when they sign contracts. Sometimes a little more term beats the shit out of a little more AAV.

Clarke is a fantastic young player.

When the PLD to LA rumors started, I was really hoping him or Byfield would be the centerpiece coming back

That said, I'm still super happy with the return

Was a bummer when we got the second round pick traded for Durzi and not just Durzi

How is PLD? 1 goal on a very hot Washington team.
