Knee injuries sideline Mooseheads' top D-men

Garrett Clarke left Friday's game with a knee injury and appears unlikely to play on Saturday.

The Halifax Mooseheads will likely be without two of their top defencemen on Saturday against the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.

Konrad Abeltshauser and Garrett Clarke, a pair of 17-year-old standouts who log a ton of ice time, both went down with knee injuries in Friday's 2-1 win over the Moncton Wildcats at the Metro Centre.

Abeltshauser left the game in the first period and didn't return, while Clarke limped off in the final two minutes while play continued in his own zone.

Mooseheads head coach Cam Russell said both need to be evaluated, but didn't expect to have either on Saturday. Clarke's injury appeared to be the more serious of the two, at least based on the pain he was in leaving the ice.
