When Seb Hines left last week's match against Toronto after 82 minutes, he thought the worst. He always does; three knee surgeries will do that to you.
"Like I said, three knee operations, you're going to have that in the back of your mind — you don't want to have done something bad," Hines said. "So, hopefully I'm catching it just in time so I don't get that long-term injury."
He has been good about catching swelling and soreness in his knee early this season. He has missed only five matches, none back-to-back, and is fourth on the team in minutes played with 1,787.
