According to Khan Eaves was hurt midway through the second period of Tuesday’s 4-3 loss to San Jose, when he delivered a check on Torrey Mitchell and their knees collided.
If Eaves is ruled out for Thursday’s game against Dallas the team will have to recall a player from Grand Rapids, most likely Jan Mursak who just re-signed a contract with the team.
There is also a possibility that Valtteri Filppula will be ready to go Thursday. Filppula has been out since February 7th with a sprained knee as is expected back either Thursday or Saturday.
