Off-Season Injury News (July 23)

It was announced this past week that Nashville Predators defenseman Francis Bouillon has suffered a setback, dealing with post-concussion symptoms from the 2011 season injury.  Bouillon suffered the concussion in late-January and was not able to continue playing through the remainder of the regular season and missed both playoff rounds in the Spring as well.  This setback is not good news for the 35-year old defender, who was limited to only 44 games.  His career may be in jeopardy, if these symptoms do not subside any time soon.

The Lightning have announced that forward Ryan Malone has undergone shoulder surgery this week.  There have been no explicit details released about the nature of the surgery or the injury itself, but they have said that Malone is scheduled to be fine for the opening of training camp in September, which is good news.  Malone is a solid fantasy player and he would be well served in the Lightning line-up, come October.
