After a full evaluation of his chest and vital organs Kuraly was diagnosed with a rib contusion. Kuraly says the immediate reaction was scary but serious issues were ruled out fairly quickly.

«It was a bit of a scare, obviously, and then found out pretty quickly it wasn't anything serious. But right off the bat, a bit of a scare.»

As of now, Kuraly remains day-to-day with the contusion but is back with the team. This situation thankfully was not serious but did show fantastic protocols in place to provide quick response times to potentially significant health scares.
