Pheonix Copley Leaves Game With Dehydration, Is Questionable for Saturday
In Friday night’s 5-1 win over the Syracuse Crunch, newly reacquired goalie Pheonix Copley left the game in the third period due to dehydration, the Hershey Bears announced.
Copley made 27 saves on the 28 shots he faced. He cramped up and was forced to leave the game on this player. He was helped off the ice. Vite Vanecek came in and finished off the night with five saves on the five shots he faced.

Goalies lose a lot of water weight during the course of a game. Last season, Braden Holtby had to leave a game for dehydration as well. Luckily, the injury is not serious.
