Deja Vu for Cullimore

Cory Murphy will be out for at least a month with a shoulder injury, so as October draws to a close, the Cats have signed defenseman Jassen Cullimore. It's a one-year deal.

Murphy's injured shoulder is the same one that kept him out much of last year while it was "bruised".

Injuries already have sidelined Bryan McCabe (back) and Bryan Allen (knee), and while McCabe has been cleared to get back to skating again this week, Bryan Allen underwent surgery yesterday in Colorado, so don't expect him back any time in the immediate future.


Cullimore, 6'5", 245, may or may not make it in time to play Thursday due to immigration issues but when he does get here, he will be a welcome (re)addition.

Over 65 games last season, Cullimore averaged slightly over 18 minutes per game and led the team with a +21 rating. He chipped in with 13 points and three goals, as well.
