Sandis Vilmanis Injury: Won't play Wednesday

Vilmanis (undisclosed) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against Carolina, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Vilmanis was in a non-contact sweater during Tuesday's practice, and he'll be held out of Wednesday's preseason matchup due to his undisclosed injury. The exact nature and severity of the issue aren't yet clear, but he's a long shot to make the Panthers' Opening Night roster.
