No. 92 missed Thursday’s game. At a press briefing Thursday morning, Martin St. Louis noted that Darwin went home as a precaution, because he had been in contact with someone with COVID-19.
This is Darwin’s third injury this season. In November, he missed six matches with a head injury, as a result of a puck shot by teammate Brett Colak, which accidentally hit him.
Then, on January 20, he injured his wrist and missed two months of work.
