Manitoba Moose Injury Report: Logan Stanley, Sami Niku, Skyler McKenzie & Luke Green

Last week at this time both Sami Niku and Logan Stanley weren’t skating although Stanley would end up playing on Friday against Iowa.  He left the game in the 2nd period and didn’t return in the 3rd.  He was held out from Saturday’s game for precautionary purposes.  Niku was skating on his own this week as he continues to recover from the lower-body injury that has hampered him.

Today following practice Moose coach Pascal Vincent provided updates on four Jets prospects:

Sami Niku:  “We’re still treating his lower-body injury.  So he would be, maybe a player this weekend, but right now I don’t think he is.  But next week I think he should be back.”

Skyler McKenzie: “Skyler is a potential this weekend.”

Logan Stanley: “Stanley is out four weeks.  At least four weeks.”  When asked to clarify what the injury is being classified as coach Vincent said “mid body”.

Luke Green: “Green was wearing a gold jersey so he was a skater.  We need to test him full practice before he’s a player.  So he’s a potential this weekend.”
