Injury Notes: Concussions, Redmond, Read, Anderson, Orr and Hossa
  • Allan Walsh via twitter: “NHL players are once again suffering concussions in record numbers, what is the league doing about the issue? The concussion issue has been largely ignored by the NHL in the hopes it would just go away. It won’t go away. Last season almost 15% of NHL players suffered a concussion.”
  • James Mirtle via twitter: Jets defenseman Zach Redmond had 3 hours of surgery to repair a lacerated femoral artery and vein.
  • David Alter via twitter: Maple Leafs Colton Orr will have an MRI on his injury this morning at 8:00 am.

    “I thought he felt much better today,” Quenneville said. “He said he felt good after practice as well. We’ll see how he is and with a chance of playing night.”

    “No, I don’t believe because more than anything he surprised me with a punch from behind,” Hossa said. “I was shaky for a few minutes right after that, which is why I didn’t return to the game.”
