Cale Makar- is there concerns that he is " injury prone"

[UrbanImpact]

Tweaked something last night and left in the 3rd period. Doesnt seem serious.

However he Has battled injuries throughout his NHL career. Missed 22 games in 2022. Never played 82 games. Is it bad luck? the way he plays? his body?

Injuries range from: Concussion, Shoulder, Hip, Wrist, Groin, Ankle

Doesn't seem like there's one consistent nagging injury that's harming him. Likely just bad luck.

I remember people used to call Kevin Bieksa injury prone because he had his calf cut by a skate twice, leading to long recovery times.

Sounds like a hockey player
Bergeron, Crosby, Matthews, McDavid, Marchand, Messier, Markov, Subban, Letang, Eichel, Bossy, Big Buff , Yzerman, Clark, Pacioretty, Gallagher, Hughes, Stone, Stampkos, Forsberg, ...play hard and play long enough , and play a lot of play off games they rarely play full seasons. Doesn't make them necessarily "injury prone"
Play on the perimeters and you can avoid that for the most part.
But it does make what guys like Phil Kessel did all that more amazing when ya think about it. They don't refer to those few guys as Ironman for nothing.

Meh not really; a bit unlucky maybe.

Over the past 6 seasons he’s played 328 games which is absolutely fine, Josi has 358 and Quinn Hughes has 371, so yeah he’s missed a bit of time, but he also still leads all defensemen in scoring over that time period.

I’d be worried if he had a lingering back issue or something, seems just like a variety of stuff.

Not an ironman, but hasn't missed big chunks so I would say no.

Dmens playing all 82 games consistently are rare even with the help of strong painkillers.

It's a hard job.
