Disturbing scene in the NHL leads to cancelation of Ottawa Senators practice
The Ottawa Senators are down a defenseman after Jacob Bernard-Docker was carried off of the ice today.
The 2018 1st-round draft pick suffered a lower-body injury today, as a result of slamming into the boards during practice.
The injury was serious enough that he had to be carried off by Ottawa Senators players and staff.
The defenseman collided with the boards, after hunting the puck, and slammed into another Senators player resulting in the injury.
Bernard-Docker could be out long-term with the injury, and this could be a damning revelation for the Senators who are attempting to stay relevant in the post-season and secure a Wild Card spot in the playoffs in the East.
The former 1st-round pick has only played 25 games with the Senators this season and has only scored 4 points( 1 G, 3 A) with 13:01 TOI.
There's no official confirmation of the injury Bernard-Docker suffered, but we could speculate that it's a broken leg with how he could not put pressure on it.
However, until there's an examination there's no official timeline for his return to the ice for the Senators this season.
We have no update on Docker's injury, we'll provide more information as the story develops.
Bernard-Docker has played 129 games during his NHL career, all of them with the Ottawa Senators.
His career totals are 20 points( 5 G, 15 A) with 44 PIMs.
