Alexander Nikishin Diagnosed With Concussion
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin has been officially diagnosed with a concussion after being injured in Saturday's Game 4 against the Ottawa Senators. Nikishin had to exit the game early in the second period after being on the receiving end of a massive hit from Senators defenseman Tyler Kleven. The Russian rearguard must clear the NHL's concussion protocol before being an option to return to the lineup. Carolina finished off the first-round series on Saturday, so the team will have some downtime before the next game, which will benefit Nikishin. After a good rookie campaign, Nikishin has been quiet in the playoffs, failing to score a point in four games.
