Patrick Kaleta will also be out of the lineup for at least tonight’s game against the Detroit Red Wings.
The winger missed the third period of Saturday’s 3-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils with a migraine, still feeling the affects from a head/neck injury he suffered March 28 in Montreal.
Kaleta has missed a total of 24 games this season with similar injuries.
“He gets migraines that’s he’s dealt with and he’s still not quite right. Our hope is that in a couple days he’ll feel good enough,” Ruff said. “He didn’t do very good yesterday, he’s doing a lot better today. But it’s going to take a couple more days.”
