Mark Giordano: (Upper Body) Placed On IR

Giordano (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 the FAN reports.

Analysis:

Giordano's injury dates back to Feb. 25, but his placement on injured reserve means he will miss Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia. The move will open up a roster spot, but it seems as though Giordano isn't far off from returning. His next chance will come Thursday against the Bruins.
