Seattle Kraken Winger Taken To Hospital After Suffering Blade Cut
Jordan Eberle, right winger of the Seattle Kraken, has been taken to the hospital for an MRI after suffering a deep skate blade cut to his leg during practice.
The Kraken recalled prospect Shane Wright from their AHL affiliate, Coachella Valley Firebirds, as an emergency replacement.
Kraken general manager Ron Francis, said Wednesday that Eberle suffered a deep cut near his quad muscle area after Jaden Schwartz stepped on a puck and lost his balance, causing his skate blade to cut Eberle.
Francis explains the severity of the injury:
"They're doing an MRI to see if it got the tendon, so I don't know enough yet, it wasn't gushing but it was a deep cut, so they've taken him to a hospital and they're doing an MRI."
It's good to hear he's getting the proper evaluation and hopefully it's nothing too serious.
