Pascal Leclaire latest to be injured

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Ottawa Senators starting goaltender Pascal Leclaire will be sidelined about a month with a broken cheekbone.

He suffered the injury while sitting on the bench during Monday's game against Washington.

A dump-in attempt by Senators centre Mike Fisher struck a stick and sailed into the Ottawa bench, rebounding off the glass and off the right side of Leclaire's face.

Leclaire was serving as backup to Brian Elliott because he'd suffered a slight injury to his lower body in a 5-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. Leclaire says he's disappointed about his bad luck but that it's something he'll laugh about in 20 years.

Man what were Chris Neil and Carkner doing for the Senators? How dare they let that puck cheap shot him on the bench.

i still think the most bizarre and laughable way to get hurt is playing guitar hero during a championship run!
