SPEZZA TO MISS 8 WEEKS.

http://www.bionika.ca/FIHG/images/spezza.jpg Ottawa Senators forward Jason Spezza is due to miss up to 8 weeks of hockey!!!! Spezza suffered a severe knee injury Monday night when the Senators lost to the Maple Leafs 3-2. Spezza underwent an MRI on Tuesday. Spezza will not have to go through surgery, source: Cory Clouston (Senators headcoach.)
''It means we'll have to be more of a team than ever,'' Clouston said Tuesday. "We're going to have to have guys step up and play with structure."
Maple Leafs forward Lee Stempniak appeared to roll over Spezza's knee off a faceoff late in the game. The sens forward immideately left for the dressing room.
This could be a huge loss or a huge chance for somebody else to step up in Ottawa.
