Update 10:30 PM PST:
TSN has finally confirmed the diagnosis saying the MRI revealed a cut in his left quadriceps muscle. Details are thin at this point but there is apparently no tendon damage and Teemu Selänne will not need surgery.
More to come as it is available...

Moments ago during the San Jose Sharks broadcast of their tilt with the NY Rangers, it was announced that Teemu Selanne will miss 4-6 weeks with with a partially severed quadriceps muscle.
As I mentioned in my last post, Corey Perry missed 6 weeks last year with a partially severed quadriceps tendon that required surgery.
Fantasy Wise:
We were right and coach Randy Carlyle has confirmed to the OC Register that Bobby Ryan will pick up the slack left by Selanne's injury. After moving into Selanne's spot after he left last night, Ryan assisted on Corey Perry's 2nd period goal and will play on the first line PP with Perry and Ryan Getzlaf. If you have the room, pick him up ASAP.
