Yes, there's five regular players in total like you said.
Pelech - pinched nerve in his shoulder (expected to be out for the rest of the season)
John Armstrong - currently rehabbing from a shoulder injury
Germyn and Palin - concussion
Negrin - Undisclosed upper body injury.
The two most devastating injuries of course are Pelech and Negrin's. Pelech because he's an shut down defensemen in every sense of the word and Negrin because of his puck moving and scoring ability from the point.
Fortunately, we acquired Delmore to replace Negrin's offensive abilities and Mark Mitera (as a rental from Anaheim) to replace Pelech's defensive abilities.
And Chucko just returned a couple of games ago. He was expected to return sooner, but they were on that 9 game road trip in which he didn't go. But he did return on the first home game.
And of course, Riley Armstrong is recovering from a strained groin, but is no longer with the team.
