Big Win, Big Loss

The Forechecker first reported the news from ESPN that Marty Erat had a fractured leg, the result of getting hit by a blistering slapshot from Shea Weber. I have been able to confirm with the coaching staff that indeed Marty has a broken leg and will be out at least four weeks. The ranks of the injured continue to grow for the Preds, and this is a big loss as Marty had recently figured prominently on the scoresheet. The road gets a little tougher now.
