Brad Stuart, who was acquired for a 2nd and 4th round pick from the LA Kings, is out for the remainder of the season due to a broken finger.

It’s also possible that he may miss the beginning of the playoffs.

This comes at a bad time as Stuart could use all the time that he can to blend with the team prior to the playoffs. Team officials told reporters that his injury typically takes 3-6 weeks to heal completely.

Add Stuart to the list of the ever growing list of injuries, which seemed to be going down for a while. Valtteri Filppula, Dan Cleary, Tomas Holmstrom, Kris Draper, and Darren McCarty and now Brad Stuart all are out with injury.
