Cam Ward goes on injured reserve with a concussion, opening the door for rookie Daniel Altshuller to get his first promotion to the NHL.
A year ago, goaltender Daniel Altshuller was with the ECHL’s Florida Everblades, having played just once in more than a five week stretch. With Cam Ward placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a concussion, Altshuller is now in the NHL.
According to the team, Ward passed all concussion protocols until Wednesday, but the results of that day's testing led to his placement on IR. Eddie Lack will surely take on full-time No.
