Sidney Crosby wasn't the only player to come home from Milan with a significant injury. The Stars announced Wednesday that Mikko Rantanen will miss at least two weeks with a lower body injury sustained in Finland's semifinal game against Canada.
The Kings confirmed what had been reported during the Olympics — Kevin Fiala is out for the season, though they went into specifics: Multiple fractures in his lower left leg.
The Jets placed top defenseman Josh Morrissey on injured reserve, retroactive to February 12, for a lower body injury he sustained against Czechia in the first game of preliminary round. Morrissey must be out a minimum seven days, so he can return at any time with the retroactive designation, though one can assume it will be at least a week from now.
Several players were announced by their teams to miss one game, but those are attributed to travel and readiness, not bumps and bruises.
My take: Tough losses all.All things considered, that's not many considering the intensity of the competition in Milan.
