I watched parts of both games. He looked good overall. He's always very active, but goes against him a bit at times, especially on defense, where it feels he isn't quite ready yet and is a bit of a liability... at his age, I'd expect him to have more awareness and to know how to hide his weaker points better. But maybe we have unreasonable expectations for him. He has outplayed Kelly Olynik though and should have gotten more playing time.

Triano said it was an elbow issue and there was no word on the severity of the injury.
