Avery Doubtful; Christensen Did Lose His Wind

Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports that John Tortorella said it is doubtful that Sean Avery (knee) will play this weekend against the Flyers.

...while I should be saying that this is a big blow, the team has actually been playing a lot better with him out of the line-up. Plus an Avery return would mean a seat for Voros in the press box. And you guys know I don't want that.

Zipay also has this quote from Erik Christensen on the injury last night...

"I took the hit kind of funny, wasn't expectign (sp) it and sometimes when you sort of exhale you get hit in that wrong spot in your chest. It's not the best feeling."

...i'm shocked to hear this as I was sure it was a hand injury. Can't believe he wasn't well enough to come out after being named first star last night. Precautionary measure?

...having said that, glad to hear he's ok.
