Fedor Svechkov - Out with lower-body issue Svechkov sustained a lower-body injury and is week-to-week, Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville reports Tuesday. Impact Svechkov is on a two-way contract and was almost certainly headed for AHL Milwaukee to start the season regardless of his lower-body problem. After making the jump to North America last season, the 21-year-old center put together a solid year with the Admirals, racking up 16 goals and 23 assists in 57 regular-season contests before adding another 12 points in 15 postseason clashes. Once given the all-clear, look for Svechkov to be reassigned to the minors, though he could certainly make his NHL debut at some point this year.
