Darcy Tucker is Out Indefinitely
This sucks for the Toronto Maple Leafs who are already struggling enough as it is. Right-winger, Darcy Tucker, has suffered ligament damage to his right knee. Apparently, he actually hurt it over the summer but it was feeling better until he collided with a player from the Chicago Blackhawks during the early part of the third period of Toronto’s 6-4 home loss on Saturday.
He said an MRI exam on Sunday revealed “slight damage to some ligaments.” He doesn’t expect he’ll need surgery.
“We don’t know how extensive it is or how long is will take time-wise,” he said after receiving treatment from team training staff Monday. “As of now, it’s indefinite. Hopefully, I’ll get a brace made and we’ll see how it progresses from there.”
Surgery is not expected, he said.
Tucker had one goal and four assists in the team’s nine games.
