Eastern Conference injured: Friday, November 11

Cory Massac of the Denver Post: Mackinnon missed last night’s game and he probably missed their last three games because he was going to get a minor injury. Recently, he missed some practice and morning skates.

“He is dealing with something,” said AVS coach Jared Bednar. “I think you’re getting to that in the year, all of these guys are dealing with something. The guys who don’t have a break in four countries and it’s been a tough game ever since. So I think the break is part of that.”

Forward Martin Necas and defensive Samuel Girard are back in the roster.

Sam Nastler: Dallas star forward Tyler Seguin is not skating on the ice.

Coach Pete Deboer said Seguin was knocking on the door when he returned.

Defensive Miro Heiskanen lags behind Seguin. The stars are discussing how best to blend him with the team.

David Staples of Edmonton Magazine: The Edmonton Oilers put defenseman John Klingberg on LTIR. Oilers have $1.3 million in the LTIR sector.

“They took risks and backfire, causing them to spend their hats before the deadline. On the side of Klingberg, it’s hard to see a person trying to work hard but physically unbearable,” Dustin Nielson said on Edmonton Radio.
