Halifax Mooseheads play-by-play man John Moore tweeted this this morning:
Kirkpatrick was injured in Game Four of the Saint John Sea Dogs – Lewiston Maineiacs semifinal on Wednesday. He left the game and never returned.
The 20-year old has had a rough post-season. He missed games two, three and four of the Sea Dogs’ quarter-final series against the Victoriaville Tigres with a concussion. Then in Game One of the semifinals against Lewiston, Kirkpatrick tumbled head first into the boards and cut his nose quite badly.
Obviously, the loss of Kirkpatrick is huge. He can provide offense but is also a very good defensive forward. He is also one of the Sea Dogs’ best faceoff men.
The franchise’s all-time leading scorer has three goals and 10 assists in 10 playoff games this year. In 63 regular season games he had 31 goals and 51 helpers.
The President’s Cup final begins Thursday at Harbour Station. If the Sea Dogs advance to the Memorial Cup, their first game is Friday, May 20 against the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors.
