Source: "placed winger Owen Tippett (upper body) on injured reserve". Similar but not exact. "Cole Knuble, Mike Knuble’s son, debuted without a point." Source: "son of former Flyers forward Mike Knuble, was held scoreless in his NHL debut." We changed. "Pittsburgh’s Bryan Rust had two assists but left in the second with an unspecified injury." Source: "had two assists before leaving this game in the second period with an undisclosed injury." Similar but okay? Maybe "recorded two assists, then departed in the middle frame due to an unspecified ailment." Better. "Utah’s John Marino sat with an upper-body problem." Source: "missed this contest with an upper-body injury."
