Fraser suffered a concussion on Monday vs. Toronto.

Fraser was forced from Monday’s game after being elbowed in the head by Leafs forward Nazem Kadri. The hit didn’t appear to be on purpose, but it concussed Fraser and will likely get Kadri suspended. Don’t expect Fraser to be in the lineup on Wednesday.
