Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg will miss at least two weeks after sustaining an injury in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche, head coach Jim Montgomery said postgame.Klingberg left late in the second period and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest with what the Stars classified as a lower-body ailment.
The 27-year-old blue-liner was struck up high by a shot from Avalanche rearguard Nikita Zadorov shortly before exiting, and Montgomery confirmed Klingberg suffered the injury on that play.

Montgomery added the team will know more about the defenseman's status after he's evaluated Wednesday.

Klingberg gets hit in the neck by a slapper but is out with a lower body injury? And I thought EP was the alien. Seems like it is Klingberg - his neck is in his lower body!

I second this!

I don't think the injury is at all related to the puck he took to the neck/head. He never left the ice and continued to play.

Later in the game Klingberg tried entering the Avs zone with the puck and was met fast and hard by Zadorov. Pretty sure that's what has him hurting.

MRI today per TSN (DD), docs saying 2-4 initially. To be honest, this is a blessing in disguise, I needed an excuse to staple him to my bench/IR....
