McCarthy said it was a knee sprain.
Bedard says no word on whether he'd be out the entire season as a result; do knee sprains have the ability to potentially knock players out for the entire season? :-?

As someone that's struggled with the afteraffects of a knee sprain for 2 years, yes. Any amount of walking was pretty close to impossible (hobbling worked later on) for a week or so, within a month I could go on longer walks again but reinjured it 3-4 times before I'm finally to the strength level to where I can run again without it getting extremely sore and/or reinjured.
What also sucks is that it messed up my other knee and hip too, since I was favoring my other leg so heavily for so long. Sure, if I were in the shape Burnett was in and had professional trainers and medical staff helping me, it wouldn't have been nearly this bad. But the potential for it to be year-ending is there (but slight), and even if it isn't, there's a bigger chance of re-injury.
