Troy Brouwer Injury: Blackhawks Forward Misses Hit On Montreal's Lars Eller, Injures Shoulder (VIDEO)

Chicago Blackhawks forward Troy Brouwer injured his shoulder in embarrassing fashion during the third period of Tuesday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens.

Montreal's Lars Eller had the puck in the defensive zone and Brouwer charged at him and attempted to deliver a huge hit. However, Eller quickly moved out of the way and Brouwer went flying into the boards.

The referee blew the whistle as Brouwer, who appeared to suffer a shoulder injury, writhed in pain on the ice. The team called it an "upper body injury" and Brouwer isn't expected to play on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

The Canadiens won 2-1 in overtime to clinch a playoff spot.

live by the sword, die by the sword...more than ever, players are trying to deliver the big hit instead of making a play or just making the hit to turnover the puck... and these are injuries are the result.

Definitely a separated shoulder. I saw him as he left the ice, and even with all the pads it looked like one. This Lars Eller has some slick moves.

2007 was a good draft year for my Habs. We got PK Subban, Max Pacioretty, had but traded Ryan McDonagh, got Eller for the Halak trade, and even Yannick Weber in a late round.

Oh, and Boston got Zach Hamill......whoever he is ;)

He didn't get hurt. He did the 'Oh crap, I screwed up, better look hurt so no one makes fun of me'.

his shoulder is definitely done... watch it again. watch how he lands on his arm in a weird way.
probably a separated shoulder.

No, he is out for the season, then at least the first round of the playoffs. Looks like you just swung and missed!

he even launched himself...but the sport really is cracking down on these type of hits.....not

He launches himself only because he misses. It's momentum. It was a clean hit gone wrong.
