REPORT - Blackhawks Forward Out With Injury ''Not Looking Good'' Says Head Coach Luke Richardson
Tyler Johnson took a nasty spill into the boards during Tuesday night's win against the Panthers and did not return.
Johnson, who had an assist earlier in the game, needed assistance getting to the locker room after an awkward collision with a Panthers player.
After the game, Luke Richardson said that Johnson was, "not good tonight," but that they will check back with him and hopefully have an update tomorrow.
Since he didn't have an update immediately, we are hoping that it isn't anything serious. Either way, it is unfortunate for him, as he has been one of the better players on the team to begin the year. Johnson has 5 points through the team's first 6 games, which is tied for the most points on the team.
