Michael Cammalleri's rib injury is more like Jason LaBarbera's than previously thought. When Cammalleri hurt his ribs Dec. 22 in Nashville, he thought it was just a bruise. He even tried to skate before the next game but knew as soon as he got on the ice that he couldn't go. Now the Kings are saying the injury is a cartilage strain.
``It's more like LaBarbera's injury,'' Crawford said. ``If anything, it's a little deeper. He's doing two treatments a day and getting as much exercise as he can in the limited things he can do. It's a slow-to-heal injury because, when you have those cartilage types of problems, it affects everything you do from breathing to moving.''
