Calgary, AB (My Sportsbook) - Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf will miss Game 6 of his club's Western Conference quarterfinal series with the Chicago Blackhawks Monday with an upper-body injury. Phaneuf left in the third period and did not return to the Flames' 5-1 loss in Chicago on Saturday after a helmet-to-helmet collision with Blackhawks forward Troy Brouwer. The 24-year-old backliner posted three assists and four penalty minutes through the first five games of the set. Anders Eriksson, who played almost 23 minutes in Game 1, is slated to take his spot in the lineup. Flames head coach Mike Keenan lists Phaneuf as day-to-day, leaving open the possibility for his return in a potential Game 7. Calgary faces a 3-2 series deficit but can stay alive with a home win. If so, a deciding Game 7 takes place in Chicago on Wednesday. |
