How'd it happen (just started watching the game)??

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

He played until the waning stages of the period so perhaps it was a blocked shot late.

NEW YORK – Nicklas Grossmann was counting his blessings at Wednesday's morning skate that it had been quite a while since he had suffered an injury blocking a shot.

Well, Grossmann, who has had an outstanding season so far, was injured in the first period and did not return.

He didn’t block a shot, though, but rather suffered a hip flexor, sources said.

He actually finished the period, so Grossmann played through injury.

Grossmann entered the game as the NHL’s leading shot blocker with 66. He had two more that period and now has 68.

On average, how long does a hip flexor injury keep you out for?

 

[pughater]

it depends. hip flexor injuries suck

Depends on the severity. From what I have seen it can cause pain to the groin, knee and areas elsewhere. Not all are the same. I think it is too early to speculate on games missed.

at least its not virus

It's not usually a real long-term injury depending on severity and so long as the player doesn't rush back too quickly. Sometimes can be as few a 1-2 games, can also be a couple weeks.

Hopefully, since Grossmann finished the first period before leaving the game, it's more precautionary than anything else -- was tightening on him, so he came out.

Of course, that's all speculation. We'll see.

So many ****ing injuries. I'm sure we might have another injury against the Pens as well.

Hip flexor can be a nagging injury that requires some time to rehab as well...while he'll be able to play, he won't be at 100%. Ultrasound before the game can loosen the muscle up to play adequately and without pain though. Assuming it's not a tear or something along those lines. I'm no expert, either.

^ Hip flexor injuries in the last few years? Randy Jones missed six games.

 

[BleedOrange]

Great we lose a Dman that we couldn't afford to lose.

If it's a trend with the organization I'd be concerned about the training staff's methods. It can be pretty preventable with simple exercises.

I'm told lower body injury to #flyers nick grossmann is groin injury. I'm told MRI in morning to determine extent of injury

Well, that's worse than a hip flexor, probably.

Hip flexor runs from knee through the groin, so it conceivably could still be hip flexor.

Really, that's semantics. Needing an MRI is highly concerning either way.

Grossman has been a rock back there....impact loss especially if it's weeks vs days
