On Friday night against the Wild, Blackhawks forward Dave Bolland apparently suffered a rib injury and it was bad enough to keep the gritty forward out of the line-up on Saturday night for the back end of the home and home with the Wild on Saturday night. the word from the team is that Bolland will also miss Monday night's contest against the Rangers, but after that, he'll be a day-to-day decision going forward.
Bolland has not been quite as potent offensively this season, but being on the 3rd line where all of the major changes in the line-up took place won't help his cause too much this year. In 12 games, Bolland has only picked up 1 goal and 2 assists, which has him ranked much lower with the team, but he is trying to find chemistry with some of his new linemates, so it should come around for him.
Missing Saturday and Monday may not be too bad for John P. in the draft, but since he's down in the dog fight at the bottom of the table, he will need everything he can get from all of his players. John unofficially finished Week Four in 15th place, 29 points out of 1st place and 19 points out of the money. Still lots of time and Bolland will be a big help, once he finds his stride.Link to the Injury/News Page
