We are not sure of the cause of the injury, and whether it is upper or lower-body, which could be a good or bad thing. Berube mentioned that he doesn't believe that the injury is a reason for concern, but the Leafs won't know until the testing is completed. McCabe suffered an upper-body injury back on November 22nd, but did not miss anytime.
While chasing a loose puck in the offensive zone, Wilson absorbed a counter hit from Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy. As Wilson fell to the ice, his right leg got caught underneath him along the boards. The Capitals' alternate captain immediately grabbed at his lower leg and slowly limped off the ice.

Mbappe is reportedly facing up to three weeks on the sidelines with a problematic knee injury, leaving Madrid without their talisman for Thursday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid.

So far in 21 games played for the Toronto Raptors at the time of writing, Jakob Poeltl is averaging just 9.7 points, which is his lowest mark since the 2020-21 season, on 69.3 percent shooting. He is also averaging 7.7 rebounds, also his lowest since 2020-21, along with 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes of action per game.

The losing streak is over! Maybe that doesn't make you feel all that jolly, as it doesn't aid their chances to make the postseason and hurts their draft stock, but watching the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Commanders 30-23 will always bring fans plenty of joy. The Cowboys have some extra rest before wrapping up the 2025 season against the New York Giants, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer is hoping to end the year on a positive note.
