Maine senior forward Joey Diamond left the game and did not return Friday night at UMass-Lowell. The top returning scorer for Tim Whitehead's team is an integral part of the team. He provides spark, grit and when surrounded by the right players, can score in bunches.
Matt Soucy reported in the Maine Hockey Journal that Diamond is unlikely to play Saturday night at UML, according to Coach Whitehead. It certainly would be a huge blow, adding to an already extensive injury list. Kyle Beattie, John Parker, Ryan Lomberg and Jon Swavely have all missed significant time this season.
