McLaren
scratched
Rugged defenseman can't answer the bell in
Game 2
5/11/04 - by Mike Lee
Sharks
defenseman Kyle McLaren was scratched from Game 2 of the Sharks Western
Conference Finals match up with the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night. The Sharks
announced that McLaren suffered an upper body injury and was unavailable for
Tuesday night's contest. McLaren's absence was felt during the 4-1 drubbing, as
the Flames scored all their goals with little defensive opposition.
Rookie defensemen Rob Davison and Tom Preissing suited up for the Sharks, but
neither had a hand in any of the Flames first three goals. Preissing was on the
ice for Jerome Iginla's 3rd period tally, but the game was well out of had by
that point.
Davison recorded his first career playoff point, when he
assisted on Alyn McCauley's goal in the 2nd period.
San Jose could have
used McLaren's rough and tumble style of play. the Flames dictated most fo the
game and skated freely without much concern for the Sharks chances of landing
any big hits.
McLaren's status was unknown following the game.
