Update 1pm: Stepan has a fractured left fibula, and a timetable for his return is unknown.

Original Post: Derek Stepan was helped off the ice during conditioning drills today, clutching his left leg in pain. This is unrelated to Stepan missing a day due to a bruised foot, and it is a giant red flag when a player goes down without contact. According to Larry Brooks, he simply fell to the ice.

Obviously this is a cause for concern. More to come.
