Gaborik Suffers Laceration at Practice

This goes to show that accidents happen in hockey even if it seems like a harmless play. Andrew Gross of Ranger Rants reported the following:

The report, via Rangers assistant GM/coach Jim Schoenfeld, is that Marian Gaborik suffered a laceration when Henrik Lundqvist’s skate cut him as Gaborik jumped over the goalie in a breakaway drill. Gaborik went for stitches after leaving the ice and was not made available to the media.

Lundqvist confirmed his skate hit Gaborik’s right knee and, like most observers, he thought Gaborik was messing with him at first.

The Rangers said Gaborik remained at the Madison Square Garden Training Center to receive stitches and was not taken to a hospital for X-rays or an MRI.

“Right now, that’s all we think it is,” said Schoenfeld, who ran today’s practice along with assistant coach Mike Sullivan with coach John Sullivan in Massachusetts attending the funeral of Toronto GM Brian Burke’s son. “It’s not like it’s a twist to the groin or the knee, it’s just a laceration.”

Hopefully, Gaborik won’t miss tomorrow night’s game against the Nashville Predators as the team needs all the help they can get on offense while also needing to get some wins.
