Chris Pronger will miss the rest of the regular season with severe post-concussion syndrome. This is a devastating blow to the Flyers who are already missing their best forward (Giroux) and now have do deal with their best defenseman being out. The NHL's best player (Crosby), one-time leading goal scorer (Michalek), and one-time leading point scorer (Giroux) were all already out with concussions.

Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes is out indefinitely with a concussion. The injury occurred last week and he was originally listed as day-to-day with an upper body injury. Skinner leads the troubled Hurricanes with 12 goals and 24 points on the season. The team also announced they would be without Joni Pitkanen due to a concussion. Also joining the list of concussions in the NHL is the league's current goal scoring leader, Milan Michalek of the Ottawa Senators. Michalek collided with teammate Erik Karlsson late in the third period. The two bumped heads in the collision and obviously Michalek took the worst of it. Michalek has 19 goals and 25 points on the season and is considered day-to-day. Other league notables currently out with a concussion include Sidney Crosby, Chris Pronger, Claude Giroux, Brayden Schenn, Andy McDonald and Kris Letang, among others.

Claude Giroux of the Philadelphia Flyers is out indefinitely with a concussion. The injury occurred last week against the Tampa Bay Lightning. While heading up the ice, Giroux stumbled to one knee while teammate Wayne Simmonds was skating close behind him. In an attempt to avoid contact, Simmonds jumped over Giroux but wound up kneeing him in the head in the process. Giroux left the game for precautionary reasons and was considered day-to-day but his symptoms have since become worse. Giroux is considered out indefinitely with a concussion. Giroux has been a surprising star for the Flyers after the team traded away Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. He leads the team with 16 goals and 23 assists. His 39 points tops the NHL. The Flyers are already without Chris Pronger and Brayden Schenn due to concussions. December 13th, 2011 @ 9:01 PM (EST) | Reply |

The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed free agent forward Antti Miettinen to a two-year $3 million contract. Miettinen played 20 games in the KHL this season, registering two goals and eight points before being released from his contract. As a result of playing in another professional league, Miettinen must clear waivers before he can report to the Lightning. Lightning GM Steve Yzerman has added incentives to Miettinen's contract in an effort to stop other teams from putting in a claim. Miettinen will receive a $500 000 signing bonus and his contract includes a no-movement clause. Miettinen notched 16 goals and 39 points with the Minnesota Wild last season.

During first period action between the Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks, Cody Hodgson was the victim of an unfortunate sequence of events. In a puck battle along the boards, he began to stumble and fall forward as Nick Foligno approached from across the ice. Foloigno lowered his shoulder for a hit just as Hodgson began to fall forward, catching him with a direct hit to the head. Hodgson was slow to his feet but did manage to pull himself up. However, he was stumbling and appeared extremely groggy before Sami Salo caught him and helped him skate to the bench. Hodgson went immediately to the Canucks locker room and there has been no update to his condition at this time. Vancouver currently leads 2-0 in the first period.
