Josh Ho-Sang suffers significant injury in his first game in the KHL
A very tough break for forward Josh Ho-Sang during his very first game in the KHL. The 26-year-old former NHL first-rounder was involved in a collision during the match, and has undergone surgery for a significant injury.
"Josh had surgery today. All is well. The recovery time is significant," said , Rinat Bashirov, GM of Salavat Yulaev.
Ho-Sang is expected to miss up to three months of action. He did give his thoughts on the KHL following the game, saying he was surprised at how fast the hockey is and how hard the players hit.
Ho-Sang was once a highly-touted prospect and drafted 28th overall by the New York Islanders in 2014. However, it seems some attitude issues held him back in his career. Ho-Sang spent last season with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL, where he became one of the league's top scorers. He also represented Canada at the Olympics. With no contract offer after the season ended, Ho-Sang decided to sign in Russia.
