Did Hyman's knee injury cost the Leafs their season?


A Physio's perspective: his 'MCL sprain' in more detail



 

Zach Hyman is a professional hockey player who plays forward for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL.


He was injured on April 18, 2021 on a knee-on-knee collision with Alexander Edler of the Vancouver Canucks. In this video, I discuss the injury and anatomy of a Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) sprain. Did his knee injury cost the Leafs the post-season?


Check out my Youtube video below for more details.
