There’s no disputing it: Tuesday’s game was bad. Just awful. Worst game of the season. So many lapses and Edmonton took advantage of each one. And to add insult to injury - or, I suppose, injury to insult - Brandon Dubinsky suffered a fractured orbital bone in a fight late in the game. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks. Jordan Schroeder was recalled from Cleveland again.
Dubi is a big loss. In addition to being a leader in the locker room (whether he wears the “A” or not), he is the best faceoff guy on the team and a key member of the PK.
