It has been revealed that the Stingrays top point scoring forward, Matt Reynolds, suffered a broken hand in the Stingrays 4-0 loss at home to Sheffield.
Reynolds, 27, who leads the team with 44 points from 40 games and lies second on the team in goals and assists, was diagnosed with the broken hand at Hull Royal Infirmary last night and will be out for between five and six weeks.
Whilst the injury is a devastating blow to Reynolds, the team and their hopes for a playoff spot, it does allow the Stingrays to de-register Reynolds in favour of Troy Neumeier, who will return to action next weekend.
After the signing of Antti Turunen the Stingrays had 10 imports registered of an allowed 11. Reynolds injury will allow both Stuart Kerr, who made an unsuccessful return to action in the Stingrays victory in Nottingham tonight, and Troy Neumeier to return once fit.
Should Reynolds recover in the expected time frame he would make his return on the 22th of February with a match up against the Sheffield Steelers, just a month before the end of the regular season.
