Josh Archibald (in the white jersey) could miss the entire NHL season.
Great concern for Josh Archibald. The NHL player is the only unvaccinated in Edmonton. Now he will be out for a long time after a corona infection.
Josh Archibald suffers from an inflammation of the heart muscle after surviving Covid-19 infection. The illness now forces the Edmonton Oilers winger to take a break.
The club officially announced the diagnosis on Sunday. Coach Dave Tippett revealed the explosive detail that Archibald fell ill with Covid in September and was the only player in the squad not to have been vaccinated.
Heart muscle inflammation as a result of a corona infection is a great danger for athletes. Austria's child prodigy Marco Rossi cost one of these last year for the entire first season in the world's best ice hockey league after the Minnesota Wild drafted him.
