He was then ruled out for the remainder of the game with a lower-body injury, the team announced. <\/p>\n<p>Head coach Ryan Huska had no update on Cooley&#8217;s condition after the game, saying that the decision was made between the goaltender and his trainer not to come out for the second period. <\/p>\n<p>The injury interrupted Cooley&#8217;s run of hot play. The 29-year-old had allowed just six goals on 133 shots over his previous four games entering play Wednesday, good for a .955 save percentage.<\/p>\n<p>Cooley had allowed one goal on nine shots through 20 minutes against the Oilers.<\/p>\n<p>However, it isn&#8217;t just Cooley&#8217;s strong performance that&#8217;s turned heads lately. The netminder has drawn attention for his viral post-game interviews, including saying that he &#8220;felt nothing&#8221; while playing well and sharing that off the ice &#8220;he&#8217;s reading with his rabbit and not thinking about much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Flames forward Brennan Othmann was also ruled out for the remainder of the game with an upper-body injury after fighting Oilers defenceman Ty Emberson in the first period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The most interesting man in hockey went down on Wednesday.
