The NHL should be more forthcoming about player injuries

Player A leaves the ice. Team says Player A suffered an upper-body injury and won’t return.

A day passes. Team announced Player A won’t make the road trip due to upper-body injury.

Vladimir Tarasenko appeared to injure his shoulder on a play during the Los Angeles Kings game last week. He was knocked off the puck by a player and skated off a little less than he was before.
