(The Sports Xchange) - Ottawa
Senators top-line center Kyle Turris will miss at least the team's
next two games due to a viral infection, coach Guy Boucher said on
Thursday.
Boucher said Turris has been ruled out until Monday, when the
Senators (4-1-4) host the Montreal Canadiens (2-6-1). The
28-year-old Turris will sit out Ottawa's games against the visiting
Philadelphia Flyers (5-4-0) on Thursday and at the New Jersey Devils
(6-2-0) the following night.
Turris has collected three goals and five assists in nine games this
season.
The Senators prepared for Turris' potential absence by recalling
forwards Filip Chlapik and Jack Rodewald on Wednesday from
Belleville of the American Hockey League.

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa is sidelined indefinitely with
a left hand injury.
Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said the injury is not to Bieksa's right
hand, which he used to administer a one-punch knockdown of
Philadelphia defenseman Radko Gudas during Tuesday's 6-2 rout of the
Flyers.
Bieksa has recorded three assists in seven games this season. The
36-year-old has collected 63 goals, 210 assists and 1,070 penalty
minutes in 756 career contests with the Vancouver Canucks and Ducks.
