Sadly, Jim O’Brien has had a death in the family and will thus miss Tuesday’s rematch with Toronto, according to Mike Wells.

That’s all I got.
Condolences and thoughts go out to Jimmy’s family.
UPDATE: It was Jean Ramsay, O’Brien’s mother-in-law and wife of the legendary coach Dr. Jack Ramsay, who passed. She had been battling Alzheimer’s disease for much of the decade, according to USA Today.
