Early February Amerks Injury Report

February 2, 2010 - By

It would be nice to post one of these sometime and say, “there are none,” but that rarely happens in the world of sports.  The Amerks still have three players out injured.  Matt Duffy has stepped up and is doing a good job with Garrison out.  Did anyone really notice Sweetland did not play on Sunday?    Michael Caruso is back on the ice practicing but will be questionable for tomorrows game.  And we know the scoop with Mike York.

Jason Garrison – He is not practicing today with the team and has been out with a strained muscle in his rib.

Andrew Sweetland – He suffered from a possible concussion in Saturdays game against the Toronto Marlies and is not practicing today.

Mike York – He had surgery in mid January and based on the 3-4 week time table given for a return he still has two weeks to return, assuming everything went as smoothly as the team reported.
