Preseason injuries are a lot different in nature to regular season as we get deep into the year. Staal and Drouin both had broken bones, other than that a lot of these could very well be the guy felt sore the next day so they kept him out as a precaution. Lots of big names though.

That's the difficulty in preseason. If a guy fighting for a bottom line spot sees a chance to lay a crushing hit on a superstar he's gonna take it to try and show the coach he's willing to play physical no matter who it's against.

that doesnt work though ask cherry lol
he even said it he crushed the rookie with his head down and the guy said "get that 50 cent player off the ice before he kills my 5 million player" or something like that in his movie
i think its just a matter of good players going too hard to fast thinking we trained in the off season im still in great shape then they pull a muscle or something
