Doing what good players do, he took a Mark Giordano shot off the top of this left foot early in the second period and dropped like a rock.
The club’s leading scorer with 17 goals and 13 assists through 30 games was in excruciating pain and crawled toward the bench. He couldn’t put any weight on his left leg. He had to be helped to the bench and then hobbled to the locker-room.
The raucous atmosphere of a holiday hockey crowd suddenly became subdued. You could hear a pin drop....
The club didn’t announce the severity of the injury — it could take time for swelling to subside and take a proper image of the damage... If that wasn’t bad enough, Boeser was spotted post-game on crutches and in a walking boot.
