Breaking: More bad news from practice on Erik Karlsson.

This is the last things fans in Ottawa want to hear.

There have been rumors floating around for days now that suggest elite Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson is injured, and at this point we feel comfortable stating that they are more than just rumors.

After reports surfaced yesterday suggesting that Karlsson was spotted limping around, the star defenseman missed the majority of Senators practice today, raising more concerns about his health. 

To make matters worse, Senators insider Bruce Garrioch is reporting that while Karlsson did hit the ice towards the end of practice, he pulled himself off the ice just a few short minutes after getting on. 

The team isn't talking, but it certainly seems like he is hurt.
