The Guelph Storm might have skated away with a big win in London Tuesday night but they also left the rink with two more injured players.

Winger Keegan Stevenson left the game in the third period after dislocating his shoulder.

Defenceman Dmitri Samorukov left the game after being checked in the head by London's Will Lochead. Samorukov received 10 stitches above the eye and a likely broken nose on the play.

Lochead received a major penalty on the play and was ejected from the game.

"Keegan could be long term, but he will be re-evaluated by doctors, there will likely be some pictures taken, and we'll know more then," Storm coach George Burnett said Wednesday morning.

"He dislocated it, but it popped back in really quickly," Burnett said, not wanting to speculate on how long the 18-year-old Stevenson will be out of the lineup.

Stevenson has 19 goals this season. He recently returned to the lineup after missing two weeks with a concussion.

Samorukov made the trip to Erie but Burnett said he's not sure if he will play Wednesday against the Otters.
