In a crucial update from the Chicago Blackhawks' team doctors, defenseman Seth Jones was sidelined for last night's matchup against the Edmonton Oilers and moving forward.
The decision follows X-rays conducted during the team's recent game against the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
While there hasn't been an official update on Jones' status, the team doctors have noted that he is currently experiencing soreness. This development raises questions about the extent of Jones' injury and the potential impact on his availability for future games.
The absence of Jones, a key player for the Blackhawks, adds an element of uncertainty to the team's defensive lineup as there is only two experienced defensemen remaining, with four AHL defensemen recently called up.
Blackhawks fans will undoubtedly be awaiting further updates on Jones' condition and hoping for a swift recovery for the talented defenseman.
