The potential prognosis on the Oilers Isaac Howard's horrific knee injury could be devastating, as one notable medical expert weighs in.
Edmonton Oilers forward Howard suffered a knee injury that medical expert Dr. Harjas Grewal warned could range from a serious torn ligament to a bone bruise. The incident occurred following a knee-on-knee hit from Islanders forward Heineman, who received a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct during the contest.
Oilers head coach Mike Babcock offered a more optimistic outlook after the game, stating team officials do not believe the issue is as serious as it initially looked. Despite the injury scare, Edmonton shut out the New York Islanders 4-0 behind two goals from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and an 18-save performance by Tristan Jarry.
