Desharnais (upper body) is week-to-week, according to Max Miller of NHL.com on Tuesday.
Scouting Report
The massive shutdown defenseman has no hesitation about hitting opponents, especially if it means giving his goaltender a better look at incoming shots. His punishing style makes life uncomfortable for opposing forwards. Improved skating has made him a useful penalty killer who can play a lot of minutes, despite not contributing a lot offensively.
Long Range Potential: Huge defensive defenseman.
