The post confirmed that Filip Engaras was indeed home from the hospital and on the road to recovery. He revealed he is excited to get back on the ice as soon as he can and rejoin the fans who showed so much care for him. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/UticaComets/status/1850969714362655036'> </a></blockquote></div> Before his injury, Filip Engaras was hoping to carve out a full-time role in the AHL and work towards earning an NHL contract. The goal he scored was supposed to be the big boost he needed to take a major step forward this season. Instead, he will now unfortunately likely be forced to miss several games. With Filip Engaras on the mend hopefully, he can return to the ice sooner rather than later and pick up where he left off scoring goals for the Utica Comets. Luckily this situation worked out well but it is another harrowing reminder of just how dangerous the sport of hockey can be at the highest levels.
