Here’s what we learned about Slater Koekkoek’s recall

Last night, when Jason Garrison was injured in the second period against the Boston Bruins, we published an article explaining why Slater Koekkoek would not be called up, according to CBA section 13.12 (m) (ii):

Emergency conditions shall be established when the playing strength of the Loaning Club, by reason of incapacitating injury or illness or by League suspension to its Players is reduced below the level of two (2) goalkeepers, six (6) defensemen and twelve (12) forwards. Proof of the existence of the emergency conditions including the incapacity shall be furnished to the Commissioner of the League upon request made by him.
