Marian Hossa might be hurt ... again

Marian Hossa’s up-and-down season continued on Monday, as it appears that he might have suffered yet another injury setback.

The 34-year-old left for the locker room after Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ryan O’Byrne hit him along the boards in the first period. Those who worried about concussion problems when his last “upper-body injury” cropped up will likely be unsettled by the scene, described by the Chicago Tribune’s Chris Kuc.

#Blackhawks’ Marian Hossa shook his head as if to clear it after being checked into boards late in first period.

O’Byrne, 28, isn’t likely to be a popular guy in the mind of the Chicago Blackhawks. Kuc points out that he delivered the check that separated Patrick Sharp’s shoulder, too.

Hossa hasn’t returned to the ice yet during the game. While any ailment isn’t great news, there’s some talk that he might have hurt his left arm or hand instead of suffering a head injury.
