Injury Report: Muzzin out week to week

[Ziggy Stardust]

I guess lowering yourself so your head gets crushed along the boards where there’s no give compared to the flexible plexiglass is what a scholar with a PhD would do.

Scholar with PhD here, can confirm

If Doughty or anyone else did that, they’d still be considered a dumbass for putting themselves in a more vulnerable position.

Alas, a likely broken clavicle has him on the shelf likely for close to a month.

 

[Herby]

A month at the earliest with a broken clavicle. This could be a separated shoulder which is 2-4 weeks,

 

[Fishhead]

I doubt anything is broken, we would have gotten the month to month description Carter did. I'm on the grade 1 separation bandwagon.

 

[kingsholygrail]

He should not have tried to duck that hit..

I think Muzzin was trying to protect an injury below the neck. So, he sacrificed his head instead...

 

[rapots]

It seems to me he was out of balance before hit

Agreed. He was moving his shoulders on the bench in a manner that I doubt he would be able to do without extreme discomfort had his bone broke. Broken collarbones are 6-8 weeks, usually.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

any idea if he will be put on Injured Reserve?

thanks.

thanks.

After the trade deadline, teams are permitted to carry as many players as they want on the roster, so I don't think they have any reason to place an injured player on IR.

MacDermid / Doughty

Phaneuf / Martinez

Forbort / Folin

Just bring up Voynov. Problem solved.

 

[KINGS17]

Muzzin injury less serious than expected. Now can someone photo shop Voynov's head onto Muzzin's body?

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Wait, Gravel has been on the Kings roster this entire time??? So he hasn't even played in a hockey game since February 7?? Great job, Stevens and Blake.

 

[sinister6000]

looked like a broken collar bone.

 

[BigKing]

Thought he was moving his shoulders pretty decently on the skate back to the bench once he got up off the ice.

Contrast that with Clifford's injury at the start of the year where it was obvious it was a significant injury to his shoulder. Can check out McNabb when he broke his collar bone a couple of seasons ago as well.

If it is a break of some sort, I'm thinking slight fracture at best.

 

[AlphaBravo]

Per comments by JS via LaKingsInsider, it doesn't seem like Muzzin's injury is that serious. If he broke something, I think they would immediately say he is done for the season because there is no way you can potentially come back in two weeks from a broken bone.

I think we can win enough games without Muzzin to make the playoffs. If we do make it, I think Muzzin would be ready for game 1.

Who should he have been in for? According to capgeek, he's not exempt anymore either.

Photoshop? Screw that, can we actually remove Voynov’s head and physically attach it? Potential Norris winner.

No idea but they couldn't have gotten into 1 single game once every other week just to keep the rust off him?? Dress 7 d-men if you need to, not like Kopitar gets less ice time with their better depth now anyways.

 

[kovacro]

No surprise here.

So a head transplant, I'm down.

1 game every 2 weeks as the 7th defenseman is going to be enough? Some low number of minutes in 4 games in 2 months is rust proofing? Was anyone talking about the need to play Gravel or LaDue in order to shake the rust off this entire time? Most of the attention has been on winning any single game because of the need for points in the standings. Not what if a d-man gets injured weeks or a month from now. They haven't had the luxury thanks to all the points they haven't gotten.

Potential inmate as well.
