That was more strategic because of the playoffs coming, this is more likely because they're on the mom's trip and traveling today.

IIRC, ACL/MCL tears are a little more permanent than a broken bone and will never fully heal. It'll always be at less than 100% and will have nagging pain and inflammation. A broken bone can still go back to 100%.
You prefer MCL over ACL injury, but honestly, perhaps a fracture over either.
One thing to remember though, a broken femur can be EXTREMELY dangerous, even life threatening. If there is a displaced fracture it can cut an artery, blood vessels and/or nerves.

Fan960 this morning, may not be any damage to ACL or MCL, which is outstanding news.

Somehow everything we needed and didn't need at the same time. Thank the hockey gods!

Knock on wood that the rest of the tests go fine, but this is incredible news.

Great news to start, I don't care at all about Zary's performance this January would much rather see him be solid to finish and through the off-season hopefully team feels the same way and gets him closer to 100% than we have players in the past

Back in time for playoffs.So day to day?
Probably have to rule out other things though. Week to week, maybe?

Crazy. I was expecting him to be done for the season and just hoping that his injury wouldn't effect him long term.
We really dodged a bullet here.

it's weird how this doesn't result in anything torn but innocuous plays like with Mantha and Kirkland do.

I know if that were my knee they would have had to amputate

Hes allowed to skate with Flames staff over the 4 Nations break, since hes injured. Id think hes a good 4-6 weeks longer though. Hes going to have to do a couple weeks of light skates, then non contact practices and then full contact practices. With Frost here and the team playing well, dont rush him.

Flames' Connor Zary avoids broken leg after collision with Stars' Mikko Rantanen
The Calgary Flames and Connor Zary can breathe a sigh of relief after finding out some positive news Friday morning.
Sounds somewhat optimistic.
