The Kraken Announced on X today that Jordan Eberle was taken to a local hospital as a precaution following a scary incident in which his leg was cut by a skate during practice.
The team called up forwards Shane Wright and Ryan Winterton to replace Eberle. It sounds like the veteran forward will not be out long-term but will likely miss at least a couple games as he recovers from the deep laceration.
This incident comes just over a week after the tragic passing of Adam Johnson, who was also cut by a skate. Now the NHL and other leagues around the world are taking new measures to ensure player safety.
