Overview

• Soucy exited early in the second period after tripping over Rickard Rakell’s leg and going head-first into the boards.
• Trainers attended to him on the ice and he skated to the locker room under his own power before being ruled out for the rest of the game with an upper-body injury.
• The team placed Soucy on injured reserve and recalled defenseman Connor Mackey, with no additional details on the injury disclosed.
• During the 6-1 win in Pittsburgh, Will Borgen rotated with left-shot partners Vladislav Gavrikov and Urho Vaakanainen following Soucy’s departure.
• Reports indicate Urho Vaakanainen is likely to take on a larger role, with Matthew Robertson and Mackey available to step in as needed.
