Injuries are part of the game, but seeing a player going down in pain always hurts regardless. The Abbotsford Canucks were playing the Coachella Valley Firebirds, and a weird scene occurred, leading one of the Canucks defensive prospects to the dressing room.
It's an untimely injury for Woo. The 24-year-old defenceman and former Canucks' 2nd Round Draft Pick has been progressing nicely as of late, good enough to get recalls to the NHL. Coming from a rare breed of right-handed shot defenceman, Woo could be the next player to crack the NHL roster out of Abbotsford.
Through 62 AHL games this year, Woo managed a career-high 31 points. The Canucks have not yet followed up in his regard, we're hoping the injury isn't too big of a deal and that the d-man is back in no-time.
