They aren't telling us because it's a career-derailing injury. Bad PR.
I predict we will hear that it's a "lower body injury and that he is week to week."
I'm going on what management has said
fingers crossed, incident didn't look to bad, but you never know.

looks like his left leg got over-extended, guessing either high ankle sprain or a knee ligament tear. Either one sucks, but both have extremely high recovery rates, knee ligaments used to be a possible derailer of careers (remember Antropov?) but the surgeries have come a long way since then
Yep. After all, it's easy to forget that Morgan Rielly missed almost his entire draft year with a blown-out ACL in his knee, because his skating ability certainly hasn't suffered as a result. So, as much as it would suck if Kapanen has in fact suffered a similar injury and he misses out on some valuable developmental time, it's not a death sentence for his career, and it doesn't mean he'll be robbed of his amazing speed.looks like his left leg got over-extended, guessing either high ankle sprain or a knee ligament tear.

Or maybe Clune needs to teach him a lesson
Man, I hate AHL. All these plugs out there to injury our players.
Any news about the injury?
I heard something about 8 weeks. Walking with some sort of cast. High ankle sprain is the most likely injury at this point.
