Face injury sidelines Wild winger Veilleux indefinitely

Quote:
Minnesota Wild winger Stephane Veilleux will be sidelined indefinitely after he was struck in the face by a puck and broke his nose late in the second period of Friday's loss at Detroit.

Veilleux returned to Minnesota late Saturday evening after spending Friday night in a Detroit hospital.

According to a report in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, it's uncertain whether he'll be able to don a facemask and return to the team when it resumes play after Christmas.

Wild coach Jacques Lemaire told the newspaper it was a gruesome injury; Veilleux's nose was smashed to the side of his face and his face was cut.

"He's not in good shape," Lemaire said. "Don't count on him for a while."

Hope he has a speedy recovery, we need our players back. Some wins on the road are badly needed!

Yeah, no kidding. Right now it doesn't look too good for the Wild - down 3-1 after the 2nd to the Red Wings.

No road win tonight in Detroit - lost 3-1. Somebody at work tonight (I work at the Wild Hockey Lodge store) said that Gaborik is suppose to be back on Friday. Hope he's right because we really need him.

Would be great!

Something has to be done if he isn't back soon.
