Awesome news! Something tells me he would have returned if the game was tied, but no need to risk anything with a 3-0 lead.

 

[Grimey]

Claude kind of guy

Claude got like 3 goals out of Nash until Bruce showed up. Stay away from from there, Riley!

 

[ODAAT]

Did you see them last game?

pretty sure our friend is talking about this game, that they look unbeatable in this one

No kidding

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

That's f***ing fantastic news on Backes

 

[TP]

If only they suspended him again, this never would have happened!

 

[Ladyfan]

That doesn't sound too bad ! Rest up David B.

 

[Orr2Neely8]

Laceration and stitches. How many games does that sound like?

for Backes...1

 

[ranold26]

Huge news on Backes.

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

Claude kind of guy

Then maybe he can get signed wherever Claude ends up..might not be behind Habs bench after this season, eh?

 

[badbrewin]

Laceration and stitches. How many games does that sound like?

The knee is under constant torsion on the ice and needs to heal properly...my unprofessional opinion: 1 week

 

[ODAAT]

Stitches??? That all? Backes will be first one on the ice at B`s next practice if his body of work in the recovery process this year shows anything!!!

 

[Alicat]

Vezinalevsky not happy.

I thought this said something else entirely haha

 

[Bruinaura]

That doesn't sound too bad ! Rest up David B.

Him and Bergeron can compare scars when they get back to Boston

 

[sooshii]

Several stitches.... doesn’t sound catastrophic. (I hope)

 

[maxbme]

Grzelcyk is having another fantastic game, mostly playing against Hedman and the Kucherov line. Impressing me more and more how he is filling in.

 

[KnightofBoston]

Had a feeling it was just a cut that was deep enough to put him out for the night

 

[22Brad Park]

Leafs up 3 scoring as usual on gifted power plays lol 8 for last 10 on p.p.. Pretty hot

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Win the 3rd period and get everyone home healthy please

 

[TorontLoL 67]

DB42 we'll see you next game!

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Yeah, with this lead, no need to force anything. Now...no one else get hurt!

 

[Lockheed]

Another good period and these guys will have two points to be proud of.

 

[Ladyfan]

Please keep up the energy for the third.

Normally I'd agree, but with the new clear tension tape, he could be back sooner.
I'll guess 5 to 7 days.

Happy thats the result from backes. best case scenario.
