The NHL defending champions will be down yet another important piece from their back-to-back Stanley Cup runs, as forward Eetu Luostarinen is set to miss multiple weeks of action with a new, and rather bizarre, injury.
Coach Paul Maurice told reporters Wednesday that Luostarinen suffered burns due to an accident sustained while barbecuing. As such, the team is considering the Finland native to be “week to week.” Maurice didn’t go too much into detail about the nature of Luostarinen’s injury, only that he sustained burns.
