For those hoping to see Rich Clune called up to the Kings, well, he’s hurt again. Word from Manchester is that Clune is day to day with another “lower-body injury.” As posted before, Trevor Lewis is out long term with an upper-body injury and, according to Terry Murray, Justin Azevedo recently got “stepped on” with a skate and is out long term.
It seems likely — given that the Kings don’t have any healthy spare forwards — that a call-up from Manchester will come in the next few days. Here’s what Terry Murray said about bringing up a player…
MURRAY: (Ron Hextall) and I talked about it last night. As we get this game finished up tomorrow, and then going up to Canada, we’re going to need to take a look at that, for sure, especially on the forward side of it. … (The Monarchs are) banged up now. It’s unbelievable how many serious injuries they’ve had in the last few days. We talked about a couple specific guys, but nothing was definite at the end of the day.”
