On a busy night in the NHL, injuries took their toll across the league.
A number of players left their games with various ailments on the 13-game Saturday.
Here is a roundup of some of the injuries that came down during the night’s action.
Chicago Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno left his team’s win over the Toronto Maple Leafs after blocking a shot with his hand late in the second period.
He did not return, and Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill told reporters that the 38-year-old forward will miss four weeks with the hand injury.
Over in Seattle, Kraken netminder Matt Murray was pulled with 18 seconds remaining in the first period. He was ruled out by the team with a lower-body injury after appearing to tweak something as he slid over to make a save with Seattle on the penalty kill.
Philipp Grubauer took over in net for the Kraken and stopped all 19 shots he faced in a 4-1 win over the San Jose Sharks.
Charlie McAvoy and Viktor Arvidsson both exited the Boston Bruins’ win over the Montreal Canadiens.
McAvoy was hit in the face by a slapshot, and Arvidsson suffered a lower-body injury and will miss “some time,” according to Bruins head coach Marco Sturm. McAvoy was ultimately able to travel back to Boston with the team.
Arvidsson registered the game-winning goal for Boston on a power play in the second period.
Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters, “It doesn’t look good” for Kesselring, who played just one shift in the final 10 minutes of the second period and didn’t return for the third period or overtime.
Finally, the Calgary Flames lost 21-year-old forward Sam Honzek to an upper-body injury. Honzek went down after a collision with teammate Mikael Backlund and immediately went to the locker room.
