The NHL’s Frozen Frenzy<\/em><\/a> on Tuesday night saw more than its share of hits, goals, and intense hockey action, unfortunately some of those hits resulted in injury. For the Montreal Canadiens, their defenceman Justin Barron<\/a> is out with an upper-body injury following a big blow<\/a> from the New York Rangers Jacob Trouba<\/a>. The Rangers defenceman is known for delivering big blows and this one caught Barron. It wasn’t a dirty hit, but a combination of Barron not watching and Trouba’s big impact, caused Barron to be injured. The Canadiens did announce today that Barron is listed as just day-to-day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It has already been reported that Trouba will not receive any additional discipline for the hit. Despite the hit contacting Barron in the head, Barron had his head down, so the hit itself was not punishable.<\/p>\n

Terrible to see Justin Barron take a hit like that and see him being helped off after also smacking his head on the ice. Scary.
Watching it in both fast and slow motion, though, I don't expect Jacob Trouba to face any supplementary discipline for it.<\/p>\n
