Lindy Ruff on Eaves: "It's definitely broken. Now it's how it has to be dealt with." Best case is 4-6 weeks. Worst case is three months.

Eaves suffered the injury (possibly to his right ankle) during Tuesday’s loss in Toronto. The National Post’s Michael Traikos saw it, and heard it:

Patrick Eaves in a world of pain after taking a shot flush to (I think) his leg. Ouch. You could hear it all the way up in the press box.

Eaves has three goals and five assists in 19 games. The 30-year-old winger has been placed on injured reserve, while the Stars have recalled forward Curtis McKenzie from AHL Texas to take his spot on the roster.
