Evan Rodrigues Exits After Taking A Puck To The Face
2 years agoColorado Avalanche forward Evan Rodrigues was forced to make an early exit in Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay after he was hit in the face by a shot from Victor Hedman. The incident occurred in the third period and Rodrigues finished with 13:12 of ice time. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar failed to deliver an update on Rodrigues after the game, which puts his status for Saturday's clash versus Florida in doubt. Rodrigues has had bad luck with injuries throughout his debut campaign in Colorado and skated in only his 39th game of the season Thursday. He has posted 11 goals and 26 points. Recent addition Matt Nieto is a strong candidate to replace Rodrigues on the line Saturday if he needs some time off.
