00:00three big injuries coming out of this week's results so we got to start

00:03talking about Oilers Connor McDavid we've seen him go down before we've seen

00:07other guys have to step up for Edmonton before his injury sitting at ten points

00:11through ten games three game-winning goals two overtime goals obviously why

00:14he's always a part of the heart conversation but he's looking to miss

00:17two to three weeks with an ankle injury after going out of the game versus the

00:22Blue Jackets nice and early I think he only was in for about 47 seconds worth

00:25of a shift before getting knocked down with the injury heading into the boards

00:29the next big injury that is gonna impact the NHL right now is avalanches

00:34Ross Colton you guys know I'm a Ross Colton fan former Tampa Bay Lightning

00:37guy significant time gonna be missed for a lower body injury broken ankle six to

00:41eight weeks that happened during the Blackhawks game now mind you he was the

00:45clutch player for the ABS thus far this season we know the ABS got off to a

00:48really slow start we know that they still have slipped up in certain games

00:52looking like they have it in their control and then letting go in that

00:54third period there that's more of a goaltending thing but regardless it's

00:57gonna hurt them not to have clutch Colton in the mix

01:01Poland's results before heading out 15 points sitting at 9 on the ABS roster

01:06also one of the clutch players and leading in goals for the Colorado

01:10Avalanche so while they have a lot of superstars Ross Colton's gonna hurt this

01:13team and then the third biggest injury of the week where everybody's hearts go

01:17out to Fredrick Anderson because we know that he's been dealing with a number of

01:20situations he's just trying to be there for his team we have seen Anderson go

01:24out before and Kochkoff come in to be a reliever but he's gonna be week to week

01:28so not as long as McDavid or Ross Colton but look the Canes are one of the top

01:32teams for goals against in terms of not letting it behind them so when we see

01:36Kochkoff go in we'll see if that dynamic changes a little bit too much

01:39Canes have been on a fire lately but a lot of that fire has come because of

01:42that offense I mean they're unstoppable and it's running through the top three

01:46lines more than just sticking to them Kochkoff played 42 games last year

01:50when Anderson had to go out 23 wins he pulled off but he did sit at a point

01:549-11 safe percentage so the Canes may not be all that far off
