John Klingberg On The Shelf For At Least Three Weeks
6 years agoDallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg will be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after suffering an upper-body injury in Thursday 4-3 defeat of the San Jose Sharks. Klingberg blocked a shot in the wrist/hand area in the third period of Thursday's contest and did not return to action. The loss is a big one for fantasy owners being rewarded by the 26-year-old's hot start to the season with his 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 15 games. Those looking for a Klingberg replacement can look to fellow Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen (30% owned in Yahoo! leagues) who consequently is expected to take on an increase of ice-time at even-strength and on the team's top power play.
