Jared Spurgeon of the Minnesota Wild suffered a potential leg injury during a collision with Ryan Donato. He was helped off the ice, unable to put weight on his left leg, but later returned to the game. Zach Bogosian also left practice early due to an injury. The team subsequently made a roster move, swapping Vinni Lettieri for defenseman Dakota Mermis for a 4-game trip. Spurgeon seemed to have recovered the following day, returning to the ice seemingly unharmed.
Jared Spurgeon on ice for #mnwild. Seems no worse for wear after missing part of yesterday’s game with what looked like a bad injury.
With Zach Bogosian banged up and I’m sure the need to make sure Jared Spurgeon is OK, #mnwild have flipped Vinni Lettieri for defenseman Dakota Mermis for 4-game trip. Wild can only afford one extra player right now
Zetterlund got thrown to the ice. He is hunched over on the bench
Bogosian day to day, Hynes said, but if there’s any doubt, #mnwild will have to flip Lettieri for Mermis or Hunt
Hynes said Bogosian is in day to day range. #mnwild
Hynes says Bogosian is day to day #mnwild
Jared Spurgeon just took a shift and is now back on the bench.
There are 13 skaters on the #MNWild bench but my eyes aren't good enough to see if Spurgeon is back.
Jared Spurgeon has returned. He's back on the ice.
Jared Spurgeon back on bench
Spurgeon is not on the bench, obviously.
Spurgeon was racing to keep the puck in the Hawks' zone and he was kinda stood up.
Zach Bogosian might be hurt, as well. He left practice early on Saturday and there was no update on his status, but Jon Merrill is with Goligoski today. #mnwild
Jared Spurgeon helped off the ice after a hit by Ryan Donato. Looked like he was putting no pressure on his left leg. Wild already down a defenseman today so we are going to get more Merrill and Goligoski. Wild also might need to make a move for the road trip.
Jared Spurgeon can put no weight on his left leg as he heads down the runway...Ryan Donato went to check him, they accidentally went knee on knee and then the back of Spurgeon's leg slammed against the wall...So not clear if it's knee, leg or ankle....
#mnwild captain Jared Spurgeon being helped off the ice and down the tunnel. His left leg crashed into the boards on that last shift on a hit from Ryan Donato.
Ryan Donato goes to check Jared Spurgeon in front of the Hawks bench and looks like he clips his knee. Spurgeon helped off the ice and down the tunnel....
Spurgeon helped off injured for the Wild. That doesn't look good.
Spurgeon down and it doesn't look good. He had a collision at the boards and appeared to grab a knee (?). He's up but favoring left leg on way off ice. #mnwild
Jared Spurgeon down on ice. Oh boy
