Maple Leafs C Kyle Wellwood missed his second straight game Tuesday against the Sabres, and will have surgery for a sports hernia on Wednesday. He will miss the remaining two games. (Updated 04/02/2008).
Injury Report
Hernia - Probable for start of training camp (Updated - 5/10/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The injury comes at a bad time for Wellwood, who was playing some of his best hockey in 2007-08. He has two goals and three assists in his last five games. Wellwood was supposed to have a breakout season in 2007-08, but took a big step back. He has offensive potential, but is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy option until he proves it. It's safe to cut him in all seasonal formats. (Updated 04/02/2008).
