Devils' Evgenii Dadonov: Set for lengthy absence

Dadonov (undisclosed) is expected to miss an extended period of time but is undergoing additional evaluation, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Wednesday.

Dadonov just returned recently from a 17-game absence due to a hand injury. The veteran winger is pointless in only five outings this year. He had 20 goals and 40 points in 80 regular-season appearances last campaign. However, his lack of offense and injury concerns have hindered his fantasy appeal this time around.
