DALLAS (AP) — St. Louis Blues forward Alexy Toropchenko left the season-opening game against the Dallas Stars with a potential shoulder injury during the first half of Friday night's match. Toropchenko sustained two significant hits from Dallas players while behind his own net. First, defenseman Lian Bischel delivered a hard check, followed shortly by a hit from the side by forward Tyler Seguin.
As Toropchenko made his way toward the boards, he grabbed at his upper right arm, signaling potential injury. After initial treatment on the ice, he was seen visibly in distress as he walked down the tunnel to the locker room with around 16 and a half minutes remaining in the second period.
