6 years agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk (upper body) suffered an upper-body injury on the first shift in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Islanders. It's a tough situation for the Hurricanes, as they have to finish the game with just five defensemen. If TVR is unable to return for Game 3 in Raleigh on Wednesday, and it's good news that at least he has an extra day to recover, expect to see Haydn Fleury draw in for the next game in the series. TVR was scoreless in eight games in the postseason, but his stay-at-home defense will be missed. Fleury might actually be better from a fantasy perspective, as he has a little more offense in his game.--Daniel Dobish
