This season wasn't expected to be a good one for the Flames. It certainly didnt start wellwith a 4-2 lo s Wednesday to the Canucks. Things got worse Thursday when the team announced that forward Sam Bennett, its first-round draft pick last June,will mi s four to six months as herecovers from shoulder surgery. Injury Update: Sam Bennett will undergo surgery on his shoulder next week. A full recovery & return to play expected in 4-6 months. Calgary Flames (@NHLFlames) Bennett, the fourth overall selection, may have been injured in the preseason; he last played against Vancouver on Sept. 26. Or he Jeffrey Springs Jersey may have been , which could explain why he last spring. "I gue s, really, I wanted to play and I'd do anything to make the team and to play in the NHL this year," ."I gue s maybe I should've come up sooner but I didn't think it was that big of deal. I gue s it is a bit bigger of a deal than I thought." It wasn't a certainty that the 18-year-oldBennett would make the Flames and stick with them.He canplay in nine games for the team before it has to decide whether to send him back to juniors. It is very unlikely he'll receive that trialwhen he's finally ready to play. Bennett, who had 36 goals and 55 a sists in 57 games last season with Kingston of the OntarioHockey League, will also mi s the World Juniors. Its a tough blow for the kid, but he has plenty of time to bounce back. In the meantime, here are some OHL highlights to whet your appetite, or introduce you to himif you're not up on your prospects. Remember, he may have pulled off some of these moves while playing through an injury. Junior Caminero Jersey |
