Jake Evans Injury: Will miss 4-6 weeks

Evans (lower body) is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, the team announced Saturday.

Evans was already on injured reserve after suffering the injury Dec. 20. He has five goals and 10 points in 34 appearances this season. His absence might lead to Sammy Blais being in the lineup regularly. When Evans is healthy, he should resume his middle-six role.
