The Tampa Bay Lightning announced that defender Ryan McDonagh suffered an upper body injury on a hit from Jack Eichel during the first period of last night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres.

As of yet, NHL Player Safety has not weighed in on the hit and with it being this late in the day, it seems unlikely they will. That’s somewhat surprising considering how reckless the hit was.
