Poor guy taken to the ER straight away... Some speculating he broke his tailbone.
Broken tailbone sucks. More painful than almost any other fracture. Not a concern for future performance though.

Pure speculation on what he suffered at this point.
 
Strange injury. Didn't look bad but his response is not good. Hope he recovers quick. He's an interesting prospect that i was hoping the Habs would have selected.

Nice little 4 point night last night.

He has 9 points in 3 games since coming back from injury/WJC.

In 16 gp he has 27 points and 60 SOG. Pretty good D+2 campaign so far.

Skating still obviously isn't his strong suit, but there has been improvement on it since his draft and I believe hes smart enough to overcome that weakness.

He's tied for his team lead in points, and thats having missed 5 games. 12th overall in total points in the NCAA, and fewer games than every player ahead of him.

He's leading the NCAA in PPG right now, and doing so by a considerable margin (.10, which is larger than the gap between 2nd and 5th).

He also has the highest PPG (1.82) right now in the NCAA since Kyle Connor (1.87). The modern day NCAA record is Gaudreau at 2.00.

His offensive upside is way underrated. Too many people think because he plays hard and is a good leader that he's not got elite scoring skills. I think he's going to score 1PPG+ in the NHL. Should be moved back to Center, then Winnipeg could get a 1C, and my Tavares comparison will be complete.
