NHL Morning Update: Neck Guards starting to surface around the league.
T.J. Oshie wore a neck guard on Thursday during the Capitals matchup with the Islanders. Additionally, some players on the Penguins and Jets have started practicing with them on. Some minor leagues have already made neck guards mandatory like the WHL, so chances are more players will start wearing them in the future.
T.J. Oshie was on the ice in warmups Thursday night while wearing a @WarroadHockeyCo neck guard following the death of Adam Johnson.
