Overview
- Philadelphia placed Abols on injured reserve Sunday, a day after he was hurt in a 6-3 loss to the Rangers.
- The 30-year-old exited 6:10 into the first period after contact with Gabe Perreault, with his toe appearing to catch in the ice and his ankle buckling.
- Head coach Rick Tocchet said the injury was "not good" and offered no further details on severity or timetable.
- The IR move rules Abols out for at least a week; he had three goals and 10 points in 42 games as Philadelphia’s fourth-line center and penalty killer.
- Lane Pederson was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley to take the role, while Abols’ spot on Latvia’s Olympic team next month is now in doubt.
