Not good.
Didn't look too bad but
He has had shoulder dislocations and trouble before.
For example: he had labrum surgery in his shoulder when he was with the Flames in 2022 after trying to play with a dislocated shoulder.

Twitter hockey doctors also guessing it's a shoulder separation. Worst case would be broken collarbone, but he was able to move his arm a bit, which is better.

Keefe would have never put this group on the ice in this situation (understandably), but I think little moments like this go right to the team depth’s confidence.

I think the plan here was to get a faceoff, timeout, big boys back. But it worked anyway...

It looked like a shoulder separation type problem to me. Previous shoulder injury in 2022 was dislocated - not separated plus the torn labrum. It did not seem that bad last night ... except with his history - that is where it gets iffy. It is up to Tanev and his docs & medical/training staff now. Reports say his right arm was in a sling which surprised me a bit (though it was the shoulder against the glass) because when he left the ice, he put his stick into his right hand as he left the ice.

That might be a sign that it wasn't too bad. I haven't been able to find out yet which shoulder had the dislocation and labrum surgery. If it is the same shoulder, that could make his recovery tougher/longer.

We see this play out in the PP units:

PP1: super skills, but very tentative-seeming approach to try to build up to an open look
PP2: go fast, go sloppy, crash the puck, crash the net, hope for the best

Our depth players have bought into the Berube mantra of forecheck and force turnovers and generate opportunities that way, instead of trying to weave something against a full defensive structure. I think I'd like to see a bit more of that mentality from the top group.
