Canucks Offer Concerning Injury Update on Carson Soucy

In a potentially troubling turn of events, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Carson Soucy left Friday night’s preseason game against the Calgary Flames with an apparent injury. The incident occurred during an on-ice collision with Flames forward Yegor Sharangovich, leaving Soucy to fall awkwardly under the weight of Sharangovich. He went to the bench and was visibly affected. While he tried to keep himself in the game, eventually, he left the game and did not return.

The Canucks, via a late-night tweet, confirmed the injury but provided limited details about the nature of the ailment.

Head coach Rick Tocchet expressed uncertainty regarding Soucy’s condition, stating, “I don’t have an update yet.” Tocchet implied that the injury might not be severe, but no definitive information has been released. Soucy, who recently signed a three-year deal with the Canucks, was expected to play a pivotal role in the team’s defensive lineup this season.

The 29-year-old defenseman was seen favoring his left knee after the collision. Although he initially attempted to continue playing, Soucy made his way down the tunnel immediately after returning to the bench, indicating the potential seriousness of the injury.
