David Reinbacher’s knee was not injured, but he will miss four weeks of activity due to a fractured metacarpal bone. However, the defenseman will miss four weeks of activity due to a broken metacarpal bone. It’s in the hand, that.

So, once again, the defenseman will miss the start of the Laval Rocket’s season. It’s not exactly ideal for his development, but at least it’s not his knee. All indications are that Reinbacher was injured in the third period of yesterday’s game against the Maple Leafs (them again…). After all, he played in the third period and didn’t finish the game. Did he injure himself on that sequence?
