There’s no way to sugar coat it; Justin Schultz’s gruesome looking foot/ankle injury suffered Saturday night vs. the Montreal Canadiens is likely going to keep him out of the lineup for a long time.
Schultz was reported to be leaving the Bell Centre on crutches with his foot in a walking boot. Mike Sullivan didn’t confirm any assumptions during his post-game media conference, and mentioned that the team wanted to properly re-evaluate and diagnose him back in Pittsburgh. However, the manner in which Schultz suffered the injury sure does make it look like his foot is broken — or worse.
