Kyle Quincey News

Kyle Quincey might have suffered a fractured left cheek bone when he was hit by the puck late in the third period of Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Quincey will not travel to Vancouver for Saturday's game because they don't want him to fly in case the bone is fractured. Ian White, scratched in seven of the past eight games, likely will be inserted into the lineup against the Canucks.
