Neither Igor Agarunov nor Mark O'Leary were on the ice for practice today, and Coach Ruskowski said after practice that he will be placing O'Leary on the injured reserve today retroactive to Friday.
O'Leary is out with a lower-body injury, while Agarunov is still pretty shaken up due to the upper-body injury he suffered on Saturday.
I'm sure all of you who were there on Saturday know exactly what kind of injury Agarunov suffered, and because he failed the recovery test yesterday, he will not play this weekend.
Agarunov is expected to return by next weekend if not in time for next Tuesday's Kid's Day game.
In their absence, Jay Holladay is playing as a forward and practiced on the top line, where he apparently played on Sunday, with Jeff Bes and Darryl Smith.
Ruskowski is hoping to bring in another skater by this weekend, but we'll see whether or not he can find anyone.
In better news, Evan Schwabe's recovery is progressing much faster than expected, and he was on skates today for the first time since suffering a lower-body injury during the All-Star Game on Jan. 13.
Schwabe didn't do much other than sit on the bench and get up to watch Ruskowski map out plays, but he could be back in games in as little as a couple weeks.
I talked to Ruskowski about a bunch of different stuff, so I'll post some quotes when I get to the office later.

The Sprigfield Falcons let go of Penner but they still have Levasseur.
Dang! Two more injuries... Is this team cursed or what? On "connaisseur", as I call him, we might not see him again unless this team makes the playoffs. Let's hope that this team's injury woes end soon because the season is coming to a close. :-(
