As mentioned in the press release to announce the Mark Sibbald signing, the Bucks placed defenseman Jeremy Swanson on the 14-day injured reserve today, retroactive to last Saturday (Dec. 12).
Swanson suffered an lower-body injury in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Allen Americans.
I asked Coach Ruskowski if he planned to bring another d-man in to take Swanson's place, and he said he's actually going to move forward/defenseman Igor Agarunov back to the blue line instead.
If he doesn't like the way that works out and Swanson isn't ready to come off the IR for the game the day after Christmas, he might look elsewhere.
Moving Agarunov back obviously leaves the Bucks short a forward, but Neil Trimm might finally be ready to come off the 14-day IR, which he has been on since Nov. 15.
Trimm has been skating since last week, and Ruskowski said that as long as he feels okay tomorrow after skating hard today, he should be able to come off the IR and play against the Corpus Christi IceRays on Thursday.
