Eaves suffered an upper-body injury and is questionable to return to Wednesday's Winter Classic, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Analysis:

After taking a high cross-check from Toronto's Joffrey Lupul in the first period, Eaves was announced as questionable to return at the start of the second period. He's likely dealing with either a head or neck injury, which is particularly concerning once you account for his history of concussions. That said, it's encouraging that he hasn't been ruled out from returning to Wednesday's game.
