The NHL has different rules on reporting of injuries so opposing teams don't go after a player's specific injured body part, I think is the short answer.
It's not the same in the other sports. When Terry Larrier of UConn tore his ACL, UConn within a day after the MRI reported the ACL tear. Having watched the game and seen he could not put weight on his knee and had to be carried off the court, I knew he had torn ACL or MCL.
