A slight back problem has now sidelined Kris Versteeg and things are not looking up for the weekend. Versteeg missed out on Thursday night's contest against the Bruins and hasn't been skating with the team much at all lately, so things are getting awfully questionable. No word as to what the extent of the injury is, but I am getting to be more and more skeptical that it will end well.Versteeg hasn't quite been the point-producer that the Maple Leafs possibly thought they were getting, opening up the season with just 1 goal and 1 assist in his first eight games. Getting a point every four games is not going to fly when the team is struggling, but luckily for him, his struggles prior to the injury were not well documented, since the team was putting up wins.
Versteeg belongs to Kristy and Don in the draft and is now the second player of theirs reported on the blog this afternoon. They go into Friday night's action in 7th place, 11 points out of 1st place, but since Versteeg only has 2 points thus far in the year, they were not really leaning heavily on him. Possibly some rest and healing will help get Versteeg back on track and 100%.Link to the Injury/News Page
