3 years agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy was hurt in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Washington and is in concussion protocol. He was rocked by a big hit from Alex Ovechkin just seconds into the second period. Murphy has been skating on the second defensive pairing for Chicago, logging the third-most ice time on the team with 21:43 per night. He's been a big force on the defensive end with 48 hits and 48 blocks in 22 games, adding two points to his tally. The team also announced on Friday that forward Tyler Johnson has undergone neck surgery and will miss about three months.
