2018/19 playoff injury/suspension summary



Notes
  • As teams' reporting standards are even more imprecise than during the regular season, this summary is only intended to be a best indication of which players were unavailable due to injury/illness (or suspension - marked by the striped pattern) rather than being healthy scratched
  • Injury absence data I have used comes from the player profile pages on tsn.ca as well as various contemporaneous media reports
  • Figures generally exclude injured minor league players (at my subjective discretion) who could've been expected to be on an expanded playoff roster
  • Illnesses are included, but healthy scratches and absences due to “personal reasons” are excluded
  • Games missed by players still under contract but either officially “retired” or out indefinitely with no prospect of a return (David Clarkson, Nathan Horton) are excluded
