The Bucks are back to being shorthanded today as they prepare to face the league's top team less than 24 hours after suffering a 6-3 loss to the Corpus Christi IceRays last night.
You can read more about last night's game in my story, Bryan Benway's press release, Greg Rajan's story and his blog post.
As far as today's game, Benway's preview clarifies that forwards Mark O'Leary and Igor Agarunov will not play today.
O'Leary missed last night's game, as well, and apparently has a lower-body injury.
Agarunov was injured when he was run into the boards late in the second period last night and will sit out with an upper-body injury.
That, of course, does not make things any easier for the Bucks (19-14-7, 45 points) facing the Jackalopes (33-6-4, 70 points) on so little rest.
The Bucks have gotten at least a point from each of their games against the Jackalopes, losing two in shootouts and winning their most recent meeting 6-1.
But that was Dec. 5, and this is now, and it is safe to say that if the Bucks play the same way they did last night, there is no way they can win.
I won't be able to live blog this game, but you can follow on Pointstreak, watch on CHL-TV or listen on Imagen 94.1, and I'll try to post something after it ends.
On another note, the Toronto Maple Leafs have gone trade crazy, and I can't help but wonder if Vesa Toskala could play badly enough as backup for the Anaheim Ducks to lead them to taking Jean-Philippe Levasseur back from his loan to the Springfield Falcons. Guess we'll see.

Crazy how the Ducks organization went from being overstocked with goaltenders to this crazy shuffling
