Concussion symptoms for Armia after cheap shot

Assat Pori forward Joel Armia will not play in Tuesday's game versus the Lahti Pelicans thanks to concussion symptoms suffered from a Ramzi Abid hit in Saturday's win over JYP. 

Armia was coming through the middle when Abid followed through with a cross check to the head. The Finnish winger finished the game, garnering over 18 minutes of work, but was plagued by headaches afterwards and was immediately ruled out of Tuesday's action.




Armia missed one game in October after getting his bell rung, and Sabres fans are now forced to hope that this isn't a recurring issue for the budding 19-year old sniper.

Abid wasn't penalized on the play but was given a four-game suspension Monday by SM-Liiga disciplinary officials.
