San Jose defenseman Radim Simek went down with what appeared to be a significant leg injury in the first period of the Sharks' thrilling last-second win over the Jets on Tuesday. The fact that he had to be escorted off the ice by teammates only made it seem that much worse.
Following the victory, there was no further information about the injury Simek had endured.
"Just saw a replay there and it didn’t look great, so hopefully Simer will be okay," teammate Gustav Nyquist told the media after the game.
The Sharks did not practice on Wednesday, so no update on Simek's status was provided by the team.
