I can’t find anything that shows what might have happened. Hope he’s ok. One game before Xmas break

 

[trellaine201]

He is young. Doesn’t he get hurt alot?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I don’t know which deity our defensemen pissed off but this is getting to be absurd.

Muzzin
Rielly
Brodie
Liljegren
Benn
Mete
Sandin

All have missed time due to injury. Hope Rasmus makes a full recovery soon.

Hopefully nothing serious. He’s really been playing well with the added responsibility since Rielly went down.

 

[crump]

I think his last shift was his assist on the Matthews goal. Must have happened earlier in the game, he looked fine on the PP. hopefully it’s nothing

Placed on IR

 

[Stephen]

When is the earliest he can be reactivated? Is the IR retroactive to the last game?

7 days from date of injury. So probably not miss much due to holiday season.
So maybe miss Tuesday's game?

In the event that a player is injured and a Club wishes to place him on the Injured Reserve List the Club must follow these procedures:

Official Site of the National Hockey League | NHL.com

The official National Hockey League website including news, rosters, stats, schedules, teams, and video.

www.nhl.com

1. A club may place a player on the Injured Reserve List if such player is injured, disabled or ill and unable to perform his duties as a hockey player after having passed the Club's initial physical examination in that season.
2. A player who has an injury that renders him physically unable to play for a minumum of seven days after that date of the injury can be placed on the Club's Injured Reserve List. Once a player is placed on the list, the Club may replace said player on its NHL roster with another player. All determinations that a player has suffered an injury warranting injured reserve status must be made by the Club's medical staff and in accordance with the Club's medical standards.
3. A player placed on Injured Reserve is ineligible to compete in NHL games for a period of not less than seven days.
4. Players on Injured Reserve may attend Club meetings and meals, travel with the Club and participate in practice sessions.

7 days after the date of the injury
So I think he should be able to play against the Blues on the 27th

Yes, that can be read two ways.

7 days after the date of injury. So after Tuesday's injury would be Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue ...

If it said 7 days from the date of injury rather than after the date of injury ...

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We'll see if he joins the team on the road trip. Think the d pairs need an adjustment with him out. Didn't like Benn with Liljegren and Brodie should take over for Gio on the shutdown pair. Giordano is looking burnt out.

Brodie Holl
Gio Liljegren
Benn Timmins

 

[wingman75]

Already confirmed he will not be playing vs STL on the 27th.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Imagine what an 80 point scorer norris e.karlsson would do with us....... He would score 96 points and run the pp1 unit like oil ran the tv.series dallas back in the 80's period.

Saying someone has a neck injury is like saying someone works in business

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Saying someone has a neck injury is like saying someone works in business

No, No it isn't

 

[Maple Leaf]

No, No it isn't

Ok so does he have a muscle sprain? ligament injury? fracture? malalignment?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Earlier in the game, he had taken a stick to his neck and didn’t think anything of it until things got progressively worse.

“My neck got swollen and I started to get blurry in my vision,” Sandin explained on Wednesday. “Probably from the swelling in my neck it was attached to a nerve or something like that.”

That’s when the Leafs pulled Sandin from the game as a precaution and have been very careful with the defenseman since injury took place.

Once the swelling went down, so too did the issue. Sandin has been a full participant at practice over the last couple of days since the team returned from the holiday break.

 

[Martin Skoula]

That sounds scary but at least it doesn't seem chronic like a disc injury.

 

[wingman75]

Our defensive play has really fallen off without him. I doubt it is the true reason, but interesting to see it play out on the ice when he is not there. I don't feel he is that much of a difference maker, but it is an odd trend that we were not good at the start of the season when he was rusty, and now with him out we look like we are in shambles (in our head lol).
