First and Last for Sykora

I've been hearing / reading all day about Petr Sykora having an injury from last night's game (seeing him leave practice with crutches, a brace). John did notice his not being out on the ice sometime after the 2nd period, but I didn't pay any mind.

Last night was the first time Sykora was in the lineup after missing a total of 14 games and it was also unfortunately the last time we'll see him this season. Rob Rossi has reported that Sykora broke his right foot blocking a shot during the 2nd period of last night's Game 6. The team doctors have treated him and have instructed him to use crutches.

It is expected the Satan will return to the lineup for Game 7 on Friday to replace Sykora.
