Some devastating injury news struck former Boston Bruins head coaches team the St. Louis Blues during game four against the Winnipeg Jets.
The St. Louis Blues ended up opening the game wide open during the second period when they scored three goals to take a 5-1 lead over the Winnipeg Jets, and the score would remain that way to finish the game.
What wasn't good for the Blues was the fact that Tyler Tucker ended up suffering an ugly injury along the boards, and may miss some time.

It was a game full of mixed emotions for Tucker, who just a period earlier ended up registering his first Stanley Cup Playoff goal off a blast from the point.
His goal also ended up being the game winner for the St. Louis Blues, tying the series at 2 a piece heading back to Winnipeg.
No Update On Tucker's Injury
Following the game, former Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery stated that there is no update on his status as of now, but said "We'll have more tomorrow."
If Tucker isn't able to play next game, veteran defenseman Ryan Suter will likely slot into the lineup after being healthy scratched the past two games by the Blues.
