It’s not like things haven’t been going rough enough for Utah Grizzlies’ goalie Ryan Faragher lately.
The Fort Frances native was injured in last Friday’s 6-5 overtime win against the Rapid City Rush in ECHL action.
Faragher was hurt after a collision with an unidentified Rush player on a second-period breakaway.
The netminder, who had lost his last six starts, played the rest of the period.
But he was replaced to start the third by back-up Ryan McKay with the score tied 4-4.
Faragher did not suit up for either Saturday’s rematch with Rapid City or Wednesday night’s game versus the Toledo Walleye.

Bethune tallied in Tuesday night’s 4-1 victory over the Tri-City Americans and then again in a 5-3 triumph in Wednesday’s rematch.
