Mike Kostka Out 4-6 Weeks

Blackhawks defenseman Mike Kostka is out 4-6 weeks with a lower-body injury suffered yesterday in practice, according to Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune.

Kostka, 27, has only made it into the Blackhawks’ lineup twice this season, but he did score his first career NHL goal Saturday against his old team, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Chicago is plenty deep on defense, so this injury is more frustrating for player than team.

I know they're deep on defense but he was playing well and you don't want to lose defensive depth like this

Brookbank and Roszival to pick up the slack. Yep, I liked Kostka's game. Tough break for him.
