SCOUT ANALYST JOHN BOLLMAN'S TAKEXavier Ouellet left last night’s game early with a concussion after he was hit into the boards. There should be an update on the extent of his injury in the next few days, but he is not expected to be able to play Sunday. He has just one assist in seven games so far this season, so his absence won’t affect the team. The line will not shift due to his absence.
