Jaroslav Halak: Upper-body injury surfaces

Halak did not practice Saturday as it's believed that he's dealing with an upper-body injury, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Halak being injured is a bit of a head scratcher as the Isles were off for four days due to the holiday break. At any rate, the team will need to decide who will serve as the backup to Thomas Greiss -- who's already been named the starter -- against the Maple Leafs on Sunday.
