Hurricanes' Jeff Skinner: Out Tuesday against Detroit

Skinner (undisclosed) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Red Wings.

Analysis:

Viktor Stalberg will slot into Skinner's spot in the lineup for Tuesday's contest, skating alongside Victor Rask and Lee Stempniak on the Hurricanes' top line. After Tuesday's tilt, Carolina doesn't play again until Friday against the Rangers, which may give Skinner enough time to recover from the "middle-body" injury he's reportedly dealing with. The 24-year-old winger's owners can expect an update on his status once he's able to return to practice.
