Coach Sullivan confirms that Nick Bonino is out week-to-week after suffering a lacerated kidney last game vs. the Islanders.
Sullivan continued by saying that Bonino, although older now, was a big addiction and it'll be a huge loss to the team:
Coach Sullivan on Bonino's injury: It's hard. We were excited for him to be here. He's a great guy and player - a great voice in the locker room. He will continue to be that for us. The prognosis is encouraging and he's on the mend.
