Sykora Scratched

After coming back to the line-up from a groin injury earlier in the week, Petr Sykora was reportedly not very happy about sitting on the bench in Monday's loss to the Blackhawks. So, instead of taking a line-up spot and sitting on the bench, Sykora was turned into a healthy scratch and watched the game from the press box. This doesn't look good on Sykora, who joined the Wild on a professional tryout and then signed with team shortly after, as he's beginning to look ungrateful for his chance.

ImplicationsSykora received a pretty cushy Sheet box this season, just because of his early season chemistry, placed in Box 4, but that certainly wasn't enough reason for anyone to pick him over a guy like Devin Setoguchi. This will certainly hurt Sykora's shot at long-term success, unless he can make good with the coaching staff later on this week.
