[Jonas Siegel] Joseph Woll will miss his 25th straight game tonight with a high-ankle sprain — and may still be weeks away from returning. Sheldon Keefe: “At this point, he’s not anywhere close to us considering him for game action.”

Sammys gotta hold the fort and i feel well enough about it but…this aint good. I was hoping he’d be back by next week but it doesn’t look like that’ll be the case
🙁
was this a case where he should have just done the surgery at the start? How does a sprain keep you out for months?…
Should honestly just expect him out til end of season
Given the range of mobility that Goalies need to have this is not surprising.
Better to keep him out until fully healed than to risk permanent damages.
He’ll come back in April and light it up in May as the best goalie in the NHL!
This is not unexpected. This type of injury makes you lose nearly all power in your foot, so you need to work on it a lot as a goalie. He probably can’t push off the net with enough force for a while.
HAS are nicknamed “goalie killers” because they’re so hard to come back from…hope that’s not the case for Brick
This is going to be an agonizing back half of the season, isn’t it?
Such a strange injury. I’ve done my ankle half a dozen times and used to play goaltender at a fairly high level, but I’ve never seen one that looked like this before. I can’t even really understand how it could have happened as his feet/ankles seemed fairly still as the shot came in and he was in the butterfly. Maybe it was something that happened off camera before the shot?
Man that sucks
Well hopefully Sammy and Jones are able to manage
Honestly I’m glad Jones still gets more time in the NHL yeah he cooled off a bit but he’s really done a lot for us and I hope he gets a good run of games
And now that Sammy has found his game I hope Jones doesn’t just get tossed back to the marlies
