Reality: Glencross is struggling through a barrage of injuries. Likely affecting his core and lower body, which makes is difficult to stay on his feet during puck battles. With so many vets out of the lineup, he is doing his best to keep up against the other team's top lines, so that the young guys don't get exposed. However, he isn't able to play his usual physical style and is concentrating on playing a smart defensive game until he's back to 100%. Spending the day in the trainer's room getting treatment so he can get to at least 80% by the time Thursday night rolls around.

I did not want to be specific but the injury he said was the worst at that time, was ribs. Looked like he had trouble raising his arm. He has been usually last on ice and first off ice for the game day skates.
No problem missing an optional, especially when there are injuries. I say this as no big fan of his play this year.
