Sting forward and potential NHL first round selection, Alex Galchenyuk will make his season debut in Sarnia tomorrow evening versus the Saginaw Spirit. It's been a long grind back. A knee injury knocked him out of action September 16th. Unfortunately he'll return to a team without pal and former line mate, Nail Yakupov.
This from GM and Head Coach, Jacques Beaulieu:
“It’s a very exciting day both for Alex and his family along with our organization. It was unfortunate this injury occurred however injuries are a part of the game and we have all dealt with it as best we could. This is a testament to Alex and the work ethic he possesses. It was truly incredible to watch how hard Alex worked throughout his rehabilitation. Also a lot of credit needs to be given to Dr. Giffin and his staff at the Fowler Clinic and our entire team of Doctors including Dr. Vargo and Dr. Barwitzki”
More from Beaulieu:
“Its great that Alex is able to get in a few games prior to the playoffs to help regain some of that game shape that will take some time, that being said how much he plays and in what situations he plays will be monitored very closely. We have to keep in mind what is best for Alex not just this season but for his career moving forward. He has a bright future in this game and that is always the top priority when dealing with any of our players.”
