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:
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.
