Carolina Hurricanes' Brett Pesce suffers series-ending injury
In breaking news today, the Carolina Hurricanes have revealed that Brett Pesce has suffered a series-ending injury.
In a major setback for the Hurricanes, they have determined that Brett Pesce will be out for the remainder of the series against the New York Islanders after suffering a non-contact injury turning up the ice in game 2.
Here is a video of the injury. You can see that his blade gets caught in the ice, causing some irregular twisting in the knee area, which is likely the cause of the lower body injury.
The immediate concern posted by doctors on social media was that Pesce tore his ACL, which would keep him out of the series and would be an incredibly hard injury to play on for the remainder of the post-season.
Joe Thornton played on a torn ACL in the playoffs (as skating is not an ACL dependent task) but hard to expect that of everyone
Can have associated bone bruise, torn MCL and/or torn meniscus"
We will see how bad the injury is as more details are revealed.
