Coyotes' Alex Burmistrov: Leaves with upper-body ailment
Burmistrov sustained an upper-body injury in Friday night's loss to the Stars, NHL.com reports.
Analysis:
The Russian barely reached seven minutes of ice time before departing, which is especially unfortunate since he likely had more eyes on him in the fantasy realm following a two-assist effort against the Blackhawks the previous night. At any rate, he should be considered day-to-day and scheduled for reevaluation ahead of Sunday's home clash with the Sabres.
