Nikita Zaitsev Injured On Tuesday
1 year agoChicago Blackhawks defenseman Nikita Zaitsev couldn't fully enjoy Tuesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Sharks as he was knocked out from the game with an undisclosed injury. The Russian rearguard logged less than nine minutes of ice time in the contest. Chicago returns to action Wednesday versus Buffalo, and Zaitsev should be considered questionable for the game. The Blackhawks would mostly miss Zaitsev's physical presence, as he has registered 39 hits and 52 blocks in 26 appearances this season. Offensively, Zaitsev has helped out with two goals and five assists.
