The Ryan Murray Thread (17' season injuries)

Jack Eichel down awkwardly last night... hope he is ok, but sure looked bad.

 

Jack is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain, a pernicious injury. I think it's his right ankle.

In the final practice before last season's opener he suffered a left high ankle sprain and missed 8 weeks.

 

The above injury was his left, I believe this one is his right. Hope he recovers enough to be traded at the deadline for Alex Biega. Okay, the Nucks will throw in a 4th rounder in either 2018 or 2019.

 

The injuries keep coming for the Vancouver Canucks, who have lost Sam Gagner, Brendan Gaunce and Chris Tanev recently and dealt with injuries to Bo Horvat and Brandon Sutter earlier in the year — not to mention Derek Dorsett’s career-ending diagnosis. Now, Rick Dhaliwal of News 1130 reports that Markus Granlund will undergo a surgery on his ankle and is out for seven to eight weeks.

Granlund has been relegated to a checking role for much of the season in Vancouver and has seen his offensive numbers plummet because of it. The 24-year-old forward has just 12 points on the season, a far cry from his 19-goal output a year ago. Interestingly, that may actually benefit the Canucks in the long run.

 

Michal Neuvirth had to leave the game after the first period due to a lower body injury. He was replaced by rookie Alex Lyon...

Flyers running out of goalies, quickly.

 

Colorado Dman Erik Johnson was helped off the ice and is now listed as day-to-day for a ubi.

 

Slumping Blue Jackets lose Nick Foligno for 1-2 weeks

 

Shea Weber out the rest of the year.

 

Price out too... concussion.

 

Another lost season.

 

Anders Bjork done for the season after undergoing a successful left shoulder arthroscopy and labral repair on Feb. 20.
Hope he comes back next seasons with the same piss n vinegar he started last season with.

 

Bergeron out now. Anyone got details? He's one of my favorite NHL players. Hope he's back quickly.

 

^me at the moment thinking about an injury to Bergy. He left the rink in a walking boot. supposedly its from a play in the 2nd and he then finished the game.

Injury updates: Bergeron out with foot injury, Murray out with concussion

Couple of pretty significant injury developments in the NHL on Tuesday as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Boston Bruins both announced that key players (Matt Murray and Patrice Bergeron) are going to be sidelined for the immediate future.

In Pittsburgh, the Penguins announced that Murray, their starting goalie, will be sidelined after he was diagnosed with a concussion on Monday.

Murray was injured when he was hit with a shot in practice and had to leave the ice. The concern here for the Penguins, aside from the fact that Murray is their No. 1 goalie and has been starting to round into form lately after a slow start, is that Murray already has a history of concussions in the NHL. He is still only 23 years old.

This is the third year in a row the Penguins have dealt with an injury to their starting goalie in the stretch run of the regular season.

In Murray’s place the Penguins will turn to Casey DeSmith and Tristan Jarry. With Jarry struggling lately and getting pulled in two of his past six starts DeSmith is expected to get the start on Tuesday night against the New Jersey Devils.

Meanwhile, in Boston, the Bruins issued an update on the status of their top center and announced he will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a foot fracture.

Bergeron was injured over the weekend when blocking a shot in Saturday’s game against Toronto. After an x-ray following the game came back negative, the Bruins allowed Bergeron to play in their game on Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres. At that point the Bruins medical staff did a CT scan which revealed the fracture.

Bergeron is the centerpiece of the Bruins’ top line between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak and is having one of the best seasons of his already spectacular career. He is playing defense that is worthy of the Selke Trophy and has 54 points in 55 games. There is an argument to be made that he should be in the MVP running

 

What about kucherov?

 

News: Kucherov (upper body) has a chance to play Wednesday against the Sabres, the Tampa Bay Times reports. (Mon Feb 26)

Spin: Kucherov exited Monday's game against the Maple Leafs after just one period with an upper-body injury that apparently wasn't concussion-related, but the exact details still haven't been revealed. If he's unable to play Wednesday...

On a day when the Lightning bolstered its blueline, it had a scare with leading scorer Nikita Kucherov leaving Monday's game with an upper-body injury.

Kucherov, who played just six shifts in the first, did not return.

But the good news is Kucherov is expected to be okay, and could play in the next game Wednesday. It is not a concussion, nor is it hand related and nothing is broken, agent Dan Milstein told the Times.
