Clarke, Abeltshauser out 7-10 days minimum

by: Matthew Wuest November 14, 2009 7:53 PM comments: (0)  

The Halifax Mooseheads will be without defencemen Garrett Clarke and Konrad Abeltshauser for "seven to 10 days, minimum," according to head coach Cam Russell.

Both suffered knee injuries in Friday's win over the Moncton Wildcats and did not play in Saturday's victory over the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.

Abeltshauser also has an ankle injury while Clarke is hobbled to the point of using crutches.

Both 17-year-olds have logged top-four minutes when healthy. Clarke has 12 points, 70 penalty minutes and 38 hits in 20 games. Abeltshauser had 10 points and is a minus-5 in 17 games.
