NHL Injury Updates: Flames, Hurricanes, Panthers, Rangers, Penguins and Capitals

Ryan Pike: Calgary Flames defenseman Chris Tanev didn’t dip into all in the 3rd duration.

• Ryan Pike: “On Michael Raffl’s goal, Chris Tanev lost his footing, slid to the side of the net, then had Raffl land on his lower body (and then fall stick-first onto his neck/head). Tanev played two shifts after this. Having a 200lb man land on your hips and/or neck on the ice would suck.”
