Wheeler Goes Down With A Brutal Injury
When the New York Rangers faced off against the Montreal Canadiens, things took a horrible turn after Blake Wheeler went down with an injury.
It was later announced that the injury would knock Wheeler out for the regular season and potentially the playoffs depending on how deep the Rangers go.
Blake Wheeler is being placed on LTIR by the #NYR with a lower-body injury and won't return at all during the regular season. Even getting back for the playoffs is unlikely but will depend on his recovery and how far the team progresses.
After the play, fans were worried that this could be the end of Wheeler's career as he is 36 years old and the injury looked quite serious.
