Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere<\/a> left last night\u2019s victory over the Los Angeles Kings with a lower-body injury, according to a team announcement<\/a>. After the game, head coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour told the media, including team reporter Walt Ruff<\/a>, that Gostisbehere \u201ctweaked something,\u201d and could add to the list of injured Hurricanes defensemen \u2013 one that already includes star blueliner Jaccob Slavin<\/a>, who is out indefinitely<\/a> with a lower-body injury of his own.<\/p>\n

If Gostisbehere is to miss any games with this injury, beyond just the portion of the game he missed last night, it would be a serious blow to the Hurricanes defense. Despite playing in the fewest even-strength minutes per game of any Hurricanes blueliner so far this season, Gostisbehere quarterbacks Carolina\u2019s top power play unit and is tied for the league lead in points by a defenseman with seven in five games. In Gostisbehere absence, offseason addition K\u2019Andre Miller<\/a> took over the team\u2019s top power play unit, and in terms of who could draw into the lineup in the case that Gostisbehere misses game action moving forward, rookie Charles-Alexis Legault<\/a> is in position as the team\u2019s current spare blueliner.<\/p>\n

Other injury notes from around the league:<\/p>\n

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone<\/a> left last night\u2019s victory over the Calgary Flames with an apparent wrist injury, reports Mark Anderson of the Associated Press<\/a>. According to Anderson, Stone left the ice midway through the third period, clearly dealing with something. After the game, head coach Bruce Cassidy didn\u2019t have a further update on Stone\u2019s status, but said they\u2019d likely have more information to give on Monday. Stone, 33, ranks second in leaguewide scoring at the moment with 13 points in six games, and it\u2019s worth noting that he has been injury prone for much of his NHL career. Stone hasn\u2019t hit 70 games played in a season since 2018-19, and played in 66 games last season.
\nDallas Stars defenseman Nils Lundkvist<\/a> suffered a lower-body injury in the team\u2019s Thursday contest against the Vancouver Canucks, an injury that limited him to a season-low 11:18 time-on-ice. Last night, Stars coach Glen Gulutzan provided an additional update on Lundkvist\u2019s status, telling the media (including the Dallas News\u2019 Lia Assimakopoulos<\/a>) that Lundkvist would be out for \u201ca little bit\u201d with the injury. Lundkvist, 25, has scored three points through four games so far this season, and saw his spot<\/a> on the team\u2019s second pairing alongside Thomas Harley<\/a> filled by veteran Ilya Lyubushkin<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere left last night\u2019s victory over the Los Angeles Kings with a lower-body injury,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[4821,4825,131013,385,131014,45190,99,1793],"class_list":["post-236718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-carolina-hurricanes","tag-dallas-stars","tag-mark-stone","tag-nhl","tag-nils-lundkvist","tag-shayne-gostisbehere","tag-sports","tag-vegas-golden-knights"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
