The River Hawks are going to be shorthanded on defense tonight against Northeastern as two blue liners are sidelined with injuries, including senior Jeremy Dehner, who has been playing tremendous hockey over the last month.
Both Dehner and freshman Chris Ickert are sidelined with undisclosed upper body injuries. Dehner was hurt on his last shift on Saturday night against Boston College while Ickert was injured in practice last week.
Ickert hasn't played since January 2. He has three assists in 10 games.
Dehner has 5 goals and 12 assists for 17 points in 25 games, including 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points in the last 5 games and was Hockey East Player of the Week two weeks ago. Tim Corcoran will replace Dehner in the lineup tonight while Barry Goers will take Dehner's place on the power play.
Corcoran has appeared in 8 games this season but hasn't played since November 14. He is scoreless in 11 career games.
Dehner's return is officially listed as day to day, but he could be out for as long as a month.
