After surviving a terrible looking kneeing incident in his last game with Lokomotiv in the KHL, Yegor Korshkov, selected by the Leafs 31st overall in the most recent draft, is now out with a broken leg.
But after scoring a first-period goal in Loko’s victory over Avtomobilist, the 20-year-old suffered a broken leg after a collision with opposing D-man Dmitry Megalinsky and now faces a long injury lay-off. Head coach Alexei Kudashov confirmed the injury and added that he would be giving a chance to more youngsters in the absence of the forward.
But the video shows a terrible looking collision just before the one-minute mark.
