Burke sidelined up to two weeks with groin strain.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Phoenix Coyotes goaltender Sean Burke strained his groin during a 6-5 loss to San Jose and will be out 10 to 14 days, the team said Friday.
Burke (16-13-5), an All-Star last season, has started 34 of 44 games this season and has four shutouts for the fourth time in his career.
He allowed four of the Sharks' six goals after the second-period injury Wednesday.
The setback leaves the Coyotes with one goalie, Robert Esche (2-5-0), on the roster. Patrick DesRochers, Phoenix's top goalie in the minors, was recalled from Springfield of the American Hockey League on Nov. 19 and was sent back on Dec. 18.
The Coyotes play Detroit at home, travel to Colorado and come back to play Buffalo next week before starting a six-game road trip during which Burke is expected to return.
interesting, no?
they were pretty hot at home of late....think esche can get the job done?
