"The Blackhawks did some additional testing on Moore's injury on Monday, and the news from head coach Jeff Blashill wasn't great. Moore will miss "significant time," and Blashill said the Hawks will know more "in a few weeks." Moore was seen leaving the United Center in a walking boot."
"With only five weeks left in the Blackhawks' regular season, his rookie campaign is very much in jeopardy of being over. That's a shame because Moore was getting more comfortable in the NHL, especially at center. And his opportunity to play more down the middle became bigger when the Blackhawks traded Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno away before the deadline."
Blackhawks rookie forward Oliver Moore sustained a serious lower right leg injury after hitting the boards hard during Sunday's game in Dallas. He immediately favored the injured leg and did not return to play. After additional testing on Monday, head coach Jeff Blashill announced Moore will miss significant time, with more information expected in a few weeks. Moore was observed leaving the United Center in a walking boot. With only five weeks remaining in the regular season, Moore's rookie campaign is in jeopardy of ending prematurely, particularly unfortunate as he was gaining confidence playing center after the team traded away Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno.
