Czech Republic's Faksa out vs. Europe
by from on (#1V911)
The Czech Republic will be without forward Radek Faksa on Monday.
The Dallas Stars forward is ailing from an upper-body injury and will not suit up in his team's second contest against Team Europe, general manager Martin Rucinsky said, according to NHL.com's Tom Gulitti.
Faksa was limited to just one period of play in his team's 6-0 loss to Canada on Saturday.
As for Faksa's replacement, Michal Birner served as the team's extra forward Saturday vs. Canada, but assistant Vinny Prospal admits the team could also dress Tomas Kundratek and go with seven defensemen.
Faksa managed one goal through the Czechs' first three exhibition games.
