Officially, and according to head coach Joel Quenneville, Chicago Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov is listed as day to day with a lower-body injury.
But after Tuesday's win over the Montreal Canadiens, he was seen sporting some extra footwear.
They were checking Anisimov's left ankle on the ice; he left the arena wearing a walking boot. Walking boots aren't for knee sprains/tears.

Anisimov left the game after this collision with Alexander Radulov and was unable to return.
