injuries news

Philadel. 14.5 : Braydon Coburn missed Tuesday's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals, two days after taking a puck in the face. Coburn's left eye was swollen shut after a deflected puck hit him early in the Flyers' 4-2 loss at Pittsburgh on Sunday. There was no structural damage to his face, but the blow opened a cut that required over 50 stitches to close. Philadelphia also lost top defenseman Kimmo Timonen on the eve of the series against the Penguins because of a blood clot on his ankle.

Pittsbur. 13.5 : Forward Gary Roberts sat out Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday because he was sick. Roberts came to the arena Tuesday when the Penguins held their morning skate, but didn't take part. Adam Hall, who didn't play in Pittsburgh's Game 2 victory over Philadelphia, went back into the Penguins lineup.

Dallas 13.5 : Right wing Jere Lehtinen was scratched from the lineup because of a leg injury in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Monday. Lehtinen started Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, but didn't finish. Meanwhile, the Red Wings were without right wing Johan Franzen for the second consecutive game with concussion-like symptoms. Franzen has had recurring headaches since early in the previous series against Colorado.

Detroit 11.5 : Johan Franzen was scratched from the lineup for Game 2 of the Western Conference finals against the Dallas Stars because of concussion-like symptoms. The Detroit Red Wings said the forward will not play until he has more tests and an evaluation is completed.

Franzen has 15 points in 11 playoff games, tying Jaromir Jagr of the already-eliminated New York Rangers.

Dallas 11.5 : Forward Jere Lehtinen was sent off the ice because of a leg injury in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Lehtinen started Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings, but didn't finish. He played 6-plus minutes in the first period and just 9 seconds in the second. Lehtinen has four goals and four assists in the playoffs and had 37 points in 48 regular-season games.

Philadel. 9.5 : Kimmo Timonen will likely miss the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins because of a blood clot in his left ankle. The All-Star defenseman was hit by a shot by Montreal's Andrei Markov late in Game 4 of Philadelphia's second-round victory over the Canadiens. Timonen is the Flyers' top defenseman and played a crucial role in shutting down Washington's Alex Ovechkin for most of the seven-game, first-round series.

NY Ran. 5.5 : Forward Sean Avery was released from the hospital Sunday, five days after suffering a season-ending spleen injury in a playoff game. The 28-year-old winger is believed to have been injured during Tuesday's 5-3 Game 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Avery left the hospital just hours before the Rangers took the ice in Pittsburgh to try to extend their season without him, but New York lost 3-2 in overtime, eliminating them in five games of the best-of-seven series.

Detroit 2.5 : The Colorado Avalanche were without center Peter Forsberg and forward Ryan Smyth in Game 4 at Colorado on Thursday. Forsberg, who's dealing with a balky ankle and a strained groin, missed the first two games of the series before returning for Game 3, when he committed a costly penalty. Smyth missed Game 3 with a foot injury. Also sidelined for the Avalanche are leading scorer Paul Stastny and forward Wojtek Wolski. Meanwhile, Red Wings defenseman Chris Chelios was a scratch from Thursday's game because of a lower body injury.

NY Ran. 1.5 : Forward Sean Avery remained in an intensive care unit Thursday, two days after his spleen was lacerated during a playoff loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 28-year-old was unconscious and not breathing when he was taken to a hospital hours after the New York Rangers lost a playoff game to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He is expected to be hospitalized at least a few days after his injury ended his season. Avery did not need surgery, and the Rangers said he is expected to make a full recovery.

Colorado 30.4 : The Colorado Avalanche lost leading scorer Paul Stastny to a knee injury in the first period of Game 3 against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday. Details were not immediately available and the full extent of the damage will be known after further tests. Stastny, whose 71 points during the regular season led the team, was injured on a night when center Peter Forsberg and defenseman Scott Hannan were back in Colorado's lineup but forward Ryan Smyth was out with a foot injury.

Colorado 29.4 : The Colorado Avalanche expect to have center Peter Forsberg and defenseman Scott Hannan back for Game 3 against the Detroit Red Wings, but forward Ryan Smyth is out with a foot injury. Colorado coach Joel Quenneville said Smyth might have been injured when he blocked a shot in Game 2. His absence is another serious blow to the banged-up Avalanche, who have been without winger Wojtek Wolski since he suffered what appeared to be a shoulder injury that knocked him out of Game 1.

Dallas 28.4 : Sergei Zubov returned to the Dallas Stars' lineup Sunday after missing more than three months with a sports hernia. The 37-year-old defenseman returned to workouts with the Stars last week, but wasn't cleared to play until moments before Game 2 of the Stars' second-round playoff series with the San Jose Sharks. Defenseman Philippe Boucher still was out of the Stars' lineup with a strained hip. Sergei Zubov returns to lineup

Colorado 27.4 : The Colorado Avalanche were without center Peter Forsberg, defenseman Scott Hannan and winger Wojtek Wolski for Game 2 against the Detroit Red Wings. Forsberg was scratched from the lineup because of a groin injury that sidelined him in Detroit's series-opening win. Hannan did not play because of a lower-body ailment, while Wolski is not expected to return in the second-round series because of an upper-body injury that knocked him out of Game 1. Goaltender Jose Theodore was back on the ice after he was sick.

Colorado 26.4 : Avalanche forward Wojtek Wolski will not play in Game 2 against the Detroit Red Wings and likely will miss the rest of the second-round series because of an upper-body injury. He was hurt in Detroit's 4-3 win Thursday night.

Forward Peter Forsberg is questionable for Game 2 with a groin injury. Jose Theodore is expected to play after being pulled and sent to the hotel during Game 1 because he was sick.

Dallas 24.4 : Defenseman Sergei Zubov, out since January with various ailments, returned to practice and said he felt good afterward. That news improved his chances of playing against San Jose in the second-round series that starts Friday. In an effort to speed his recovery, Zubov recently went to Germany for his second sports hernia surgery in less than a year.

Detroit 22.4 : Tomas Kopecky had surgery on his left knee and is expected to be able to play at the start of next season. Detroit said his torn ligament was successfully repaired and that he will need four to six months to recover. The Red Wings forward, who was hurt April 3 against Columbus, had five goals and seven assists.

Philadel. 20.4 : Right wing Mike Knuble is out for the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers' series against the Washington Capitals after tearing his left hamstring in Saturday's Game 5 loss. Knuble, who scored the winner in double overtime of Game 4, appeared to catch his skate in a rut while attempting to block a shot late in the second period. He had 29 goals and 26 assists during the regular season, and two goals and three assists against the Capitals.

Anaheim 18.4 : Right wing Corey Perry started Game 4 of a first-round series against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. Perry, who led the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in goals during the regular season, missed the last six weeks after a freak leg injury. Fellow right wing Rob Niedermayer did not make the trip to Dallas for Thursday's game, remaining home with concussion-like symptoms.

Montreal 17.4 : Mark Streit will miss Thursday's playoff game against Boston due to a hip injury. Coach Guy Carbonneau said Streit was injured in the second period of Game 4 on Tuesday in Boston and is day to day. Defenseman Francis Bouillon and captain Saku Koivu are also missing for Montreal. Neither is expected to play in the series.

Dallas 17.4 : Philippe Boucher missed Thursday's playoff game against the Anaheim Ducks with what the Dallas Stars termed a lower-body injury. The defenseman is listed as day-to-day. Rookie Mark Fistric replaced Boucher in the Stars' defensive rotation.

Anaheim 16.4 : Rob Niedermayer missed Game 3 of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks' playoff series Tuesday against the Dallas Stars because of an apparent concussion sustained earlier in the series. The right wing didn't travel to Dallas, and instead remained home after complaining of concussion-like symptoms. It wasn't clear if Niedermayer would join the team for Game 4 on Thursday, or his status for the remainder of the series.

Ottawa 14.4 : Jason Spezza became the latest addition to the Ottawa Senators' crowded injury list. The Senators' leading scorer, with a career-high 92 points during the regular season, injured his leg in Friday's 5-3 loss in Pittsburgh and did not take part in Sunday's practice. With captain Daniel Alfredsson and centers Mike Fisher and Chris Kelly already sidelined by injuries for Ottawa's opening-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Spezza might not play in Game 3 as the Senators return home on Monday facing a 2-0 series deficit.

Philadel. 13.4 : Left wing Patrick Thoresen was released from the hospital after tests revealed no serious injury from a shot that hit him in the groin. The 24-year-old forward was hurt after blocking Mike Green's shot in the third period Friday of a 5-4 loss to the Washington Capitals. General manager Paul Holmgren said he wouldn't be surprised if Thoresen played in Game 2 on Sunday.
