It’s hard to believe the Milano Cortina Olympics ended just over a week ago — unless you look at the PWHL and NHL injury reports. With the second half of both seasons underway, superstars from the hockey leagues find themselves sidelined by injuries sustained while competing for their countries in Milan.
