Injury List Heading Into R9

Here’s hoping Higgins makes it back this week, Didak too for that matter, that will see me with a pretty full fwd line.

How unlucky would you be if you had Cousins, 1 game back and he’s out again with a fractured hand … it says only a week,  guess we’ll see about that.
