Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Injury: Set for one-week absence
Head coach Lindy Ruff said Thursday that Luukkonen (lower body) is expected to miss about a week, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
Luukkonen could miss the Olympics with Finland, though no determination has been made on his availability. Given his potential timeline, Luukkonen will likely be out of action until at least the final game before the break, a home clash with the Penguins next Thursday. In the meantime, Alex Lyon should see the bulk of the workload with Colten Ellis available as needed.
