Ten days back in Nashville defenceman Dylan Samberg blocked a Steven Stamkos slap shot on the power play and miraculously got up to try to help his team continue to try to kill off the penalty. The result of the play we later found out was a broken foot.
If you missed it this was the play:
Can we talk about the fact that Dylan Samberg blocked this shot by Steven Stamkos which broke his foot.
And then he still tried his best to get up, get into the play and then got in a lane to attempt to block another shot from Stamkos. ? pic.twitter.com/ieorNpbEbK

After the game head coach Scott Arniel said Samberg would return to Winnipeg for further assessment.
During his media availability following morning skate today Scott Arniel was asked for an update and he had this to say.
“It’s broken. He’s actually walking around. He has a boot on but he’s walking around without the boot sometimes. I don’t know if he’s allowed to do that or not but actually the swelling’s gone down quite a bit. But he has a broken bone so that just has to heal.”
Asked if there is any more clarity on a timeline he added:
“Usually on broken bones you’ll get to four weeks and we’ll take it from there.”
The four week mark is around December 21st but again that just seems to be a starting point for us to have that discussion with the head coach for an update more than any sort of hard date.
