Breaking: Superstar player missing at practice raises concern for game 6!

Fans Are Holding Their Breath

The Playoff is always hard on the players but this year seems even worst. Key players fall left and right to the intensity of the moment and leave a huge void in their team’s lineup. 

Following a disastrous 5-0 deficit during game 5, Erik Karlsson left the ice visibly injured. You have to understand Karlsson is banged up since the first round, suffering hairline fractures. However, this time seems the ankle might have been hurt and this could spell disaster to the Ottawa crew. Arguably, Karlsson was the cement that glued everything together since the very first playoff game. 

Early reports from Ottawa Senators Insider Bruce Garrioch confirm Erik Karlsson is not on the ice this morning prior elimination game. Part of the explanation might be because it’s an optional, but keep in mind Karlsson is pretty banged up and might be a doubtful case for tonight.

More details upcoming.
