Jordan Eberle Suffers Leg Laceration In Wednesday's Practice
1 year agoSeattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle suffered a deep cut to his leg by a skate blade in practice on Wednesday and is out indefinitely. The laceration was to his upper leg near the quad area after teammate Jaden Schwartz stepped on a puck and lost his balance. An MRI was being performed to determine if the cut caught any tendons. General manager Ron Francis told the media "it wasn't gushing but it was a deep cut, so they've taken him to a hospital and they're doing an MRI." The 33-year-old is off to a slow start this season, registering just one goal and four points in 13 games despite receiving 17:20 of average ice time per game. The Kraken recalled Shane Wright and Ryan Winterton from the American Hockey League's Coachella Valley on Wednesday following the incident.
