Cormier took a stick to the eye in Monday's preseason game against the Oilers, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

Analysis:

Coach Paul Maurice was unable to provide much clarity on Cormier's condition after the game, saying little more than that he's hoping the injury "is not significant." He'll likely be evaluated over the next couple of days, but with the regular season rapidly approaching, the injury might have cost Cormier a chance at winning a 23-man roster spot.
