Edmundson (upper body) will not be in action versus San Jose on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Scouting Report
Has the size (6’4”) and strength that coaches love in a shutdown defenseman. Is a physical force in his own zone who is at his best when he keeps things single and does not try to do more than he is capable of. Will never be an offensive force but is an acceptable puck mover who can play 20-plus minutes per game and is a good match for an offensive partner.
Long Range Potential: Big shutdown defenseman.
