Justin Schultz In Danger Of Missing Another Game
2 years agoSeattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz (upper body) is a major doubt for Thursday's clash with Carolina. The veteran has already sat out one game this week, skipping a meeting with Tampa Bay despite taking part in warmups before the game, and there's a strong chance Schultz won't be able to play on Thursday either. He was injured last Sunday in a game against Florida when Ryan Lomberg delivered Schultz a nasty hit from behind. It initially appeared that Schultz came out clean from the incident when he had no trouble practicing ahead of the Lightning game, but he wasn't on the ice Thursday morning, which strongly indicates that the 32-year-old won't be in the lineup against the Hurricanes. With 16 points collected in 27 games, Schultz is having a very solid season in Seattle. His spot on the second defensive pairing has been filled by Will Borgen.
