Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the St. Louis Blues, although the Blues lost Philip Broberg to injury after getting tangled up with Mitch Marner.
It all went down fairly fast as Broberg and Marner got into the boards together. Eventually, the two locked legs and Broberg seemingly got his knee twisted up. Overall, it was pretty gnarly and it is easy to understand why Broberg ultimately had to come out of the game.
On Twitter, Dr. Harjas Grewal spoke about Broberg's injury and what some of the possibilities are. Grewal is very respected when it comes to his injury predictions. Overall, he is usually bang on about this kind of thing. As he noted, it is probably a best-case scenario coming down for Broberg, but a torn ACL is a possibility.
Dr. Harjas Grewal weighs in on Philip Broberg and Mitch Marner
"Similar to the recent Lazar injury but not as severe for Broberg
Still, possible injuries with this mechanism include:
◼️Torn MCL (time off depends on grade)
◼️Torn ACL (5+ months out)
◼️Torn meniscus (4-6 weeks if trimmed, 4+ months if repaired)
Can be just one or even all 3
Again, looks not as severe so my leading possibility would be an isolated grade 1 (day-to-day to 2-3 weeks) or grade 2 (4-6 weeks) MCL injury for Broberg."

Only time will tell whether or not this prediction will be correct. Either way, this is not what Blues fans want to see or hear right now.
