Guerin Out Tonight
November 12th, 2007 by murph
As reported by Greg Logan this afternoon, Captain Bill Guerin is out for tonight’s game due to an eye injury last game.
Guerin was hit in the eye by a puck in Saturday’s home win over the Devils and is suffering from a condition known as hyphema, which is bleeding in the anterior chamber of the eye.
When Guerin was hit by the puck, it caused a blood vessel to burst and essentially turned the eye red and made it difficult to see when he took two brief shifts at the start of the third period. The Islanders described Guerin’s condition as day-to-day while he waits for the swelling around the eye to subside and for his vision to clear.
The good news is Guerin is just day to day, and the Isles will get Sean Bergenhein back in the lineup tonight.
