Reports out of the Thrashers camp are saying that Bryan Little left last night's game against the Buffalo Sabres with a concussion and some facial lacerations after taking an awkward fall into the boards following a hit from the Sabres' Shaone Morrisonn. The biggest concern now is that a concussion has reared its ugly head and Little could be out indefinitely.
Little hasn't gotten off to the biggest of starts with the Thrashers this season, only picking up 1 goal and 3 assists in the first ten games of the year, but he is a valuable member of the Thrashers roster. So now that the word concussion has been used in Little's diagnosis, he'll have to miss at least the next week of action and then get some baseline testing done before getting clearance to return to the line-up. If Little can come back in one week's time, that would be good news for everyone involved.
In the draft, Little is Leon's 6th round pick, 112th overall this year, which looked like a pretty good pick. Leon currently sits in 11th spot in the standings, already 20 points behind the leader. Here is hoping that the effects of the concussion are not long-term and he can climb back into this race again. As defending champion of the draft, Leon probably wants to show that it wasn't a fluke.Link to the Injury/News Page
