After colliding with Ryan Callahan in practice on Monday, left wing Sean Avery has found himself on the sideline for the past two pre-season games with a sprained knee. Avery underwent the newly found treatment yesterday, when blood cells are drawn from healthy tissue of the body, and then injected into the problematic area.
Steve Zipay of Newsday reported earlier this afternoon that Avery will make the trip with the team to Washington, where they will conclude the pre-season against the Capitals. It is highly unlikely that Sean plays in this game, but instead, will continue to undergo rehabilitation treatments.
As of now, Avery has stated that there is no timetable as to when he will begin skating, but is pretty confident that he will be ready for opening night in Pittsburgh. Avery is in fantastic shape, which I think has helped the somewhat speedy recovery, and I would be taken by surprise if he was not 100 percent by Friday.
I will be sure to keep tabs on the situation as we near the regular season....
