Benoit Pouliot: Suffers Broken Foot

Pouliot suffered a broken foot in Friday's game against the Devils and will be sidelined indefinitely.

Analysis:

He was hit in the foot by a Marek Zidlicky shot, resulting in his removal from the game before the severity of the injury was determined. Pouliot's absence could force Joensuu and/or Matt Hendricks to jump from the checking line into more defined third-line duties.
