ALBANY — Albany Devils goaltender Scott Wedgewood, who injured his right shoulder Wednesday night in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Hershey Bears, likely will be out at least four weeks, coach Rick Kowalsky said Friday night.

“That’s not definitely,” Kowalsky said. “I would say at least that long. That’s what we’re hoping for. We’re still not 100 percent sure what we’re going to do moving forward with him.”

An MRI on Thursday revealed an injured labrum, according to Kowalsky.

“Those things can be an easy rehab situation, or it can be worse,” he said. They don’t think it’s too bad.

“He’s a goaltender, so it’s not like he’s getting bumped around. A lot of these things, we had a situation with Helgeson where he came back pretty quick from it. We’ll see how he response from rehab and go from there.”

Defenseman Seth Helgeson missed two months last season with a shoulder injury.

Speaking of Helgeson, he and rookie center Joseph Blandisi, both among the quartet of players sent back from New Jersey on Wednesday, were healthy scratches Friday for the second straight game.

It appears that the New Jersey brass just wants the two to practice but not play with the A-Devils while the NHL is on its all-star break.

“There’s a possibility we might get them tomorrow,” said Kowalsky, referring to Saturday night’s game at Bridgeport, “but the way it’s gone, it’s probably going to look like they’re here to keep them on the ice and keep them moving.”
