Blackhawks Update Their Injuries

from Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Blackhawks will be without Viktor Stalberg for about three weeks after the winger suffered a leg injury during Wednesday night?s exhibiton game against the Red Wings.

?We?ll see how he does,? Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said following Thursday?s practice at the United Center. ?He seemed okay (Thursday morning) but that?s probably what we?re looking at?.

Stalberg was injured late in the first period after appearing to collide with a Wings player. Quenneville intimated the hit might not have been entirely accidental.

?It looked like it might have been a collision,? Quenneville said. ?But it looked like it could have been more of a collision. We?ll leave it at that.?

Meanwhile, rookie Ben Smith missed practice after leaving Wednesday?s game after being hit in the head by the shoulder of the Wings? Brendan Smith. The Hawks believed the hit was illegal and Brendan Smith reportedly will have a disciplinary hearing with the league soon.

?Ben (Smith) is okay?I guess okay,? Quenneville said. ?I don?t want to put a timeline (for his recovery) on him.?
