Bumps, cuts and bruises are part of hockey, but what Logan Pyett experienced after a preseason game just wasn't right.
There was an annoying lump on the inside of his left thigh and the veteran defenseman and former Detroit Red Wings prospect knew it wasn't typical.
"At first trainers thought it might be scar tissue, whatever, but then I got this shooting pain in my leg," Pyett said. "I played the one game and complained afterward. My leg just felt heavy, not right."
As much as he wanted to wish it away - he had just joined Lehigh Valley and the season was about to start - Pyett informed staff, went to have it checked out and heard what he didn't want to hear.
