What It Means:

Ottawa has called up Fredrik Claesson to take Phaneuf's place on the roster. Phaneuf was hit by Washington's Brooks Orpik in the second period Tuesday, and he didn't return because of a lower-body injury. It's unclear how long he will be sidelined.

We had Phaneuf projected for one goal and three assists over the final nine games. His 49.3 Corsi For Percentage is slightly above his career average of 49.0 while his -2.7 Relative Corsi For Percentage at Even Strength is well below his career average of 0.0.
