Breaking News: David Perron Sidelined with Upper-Body Injury After Collision in Game Against Colorado Avalanche
St. Louis, MO – In a devastating blow to the St. Louis Blues, veteran forward David Perron has been involved in a scary collision during a game against the Colorado Avalanche, resulting in an upper-body injury that will sideline him for an undetermined amount of time.
The incident occurred in the second period of Thursday’s game when Perron was hit from behind by Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews, sending him crashing into the boards. Perron immediately clutched his arm and shoulder area, indicating that he was in significant pain.
After being attended to by the Blues’ medical staff, Perron was helped off the ice and did not return to the game. The Blues went on to lose the game 4-2.
The extent of Perron’s injury is still unknown, but the Blues have announced that he will undergo further evaluation and testing to determine the severity of the injury.
Perron, 34, has been a key contributor to the Blues’ offense this season, scoring 10 goals and adding 15 assists in 30 games. His absence will be deeply felt by the team, which is already dealing with a number of injuries to key players.
The Blues’ head coach, Craig Berube, expressed his concern for Perron’s well-being, saying, “David is a big part of our team, and we’re all worried about him. We’ll do everything we can to support him and get him back on the ice as soon as possible.”
The Blues’ next game is scheduled for Saturday against the Dallas Stars. The team will provide an update on Perron’s status before the game.
