Major turnaround for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, and it's not positive

Last week, in Tempe, Arizona, Rafaël Harvey-Pinard got injured during the game. The Hometown player made a strong effort to return to the game but was eventually forced to leave for good.

Since then, the only information available is that the injury is lower-body, and he's being evaluated daily.

This morning, the players hit the ice for practice in preparation for Tuesday night's game, and RHP was present in a regular jersey. It appeared to be a positive sign for an imminent return.




However, the joy was short-lived as Rafaël had to leave after only five minutes, clearly still feeling discomfort.

It's evident that he is eager to get back in the game and is trying hard, but he mustn't rush the recovery process either. Sustaining a more severe injury would not be ideal.
