The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered a major blow during their game against the Washington Capitals, with three players injured in a tough night.
Goaltender Anthony Stolarz exited in the first period with a lower body injury after making a stretching save.
He fell on the ice and required assistance from teammates before being taken to the dressing room.
According to TSN, he will be X-rayed and is expected to be out for an indefinite period.
Defenseman Brandon Carlo and forward Dakota Joshua were also ejected before the end of the game.
Joshua left early in the second period after a heavy collision with Capitals player Rasmus Sandin, while it was unclear when Carlo suffered the injury.
Head coach Craig Berube confirmed after the game that Carlo and Joshua would miss Toronto’s next game against the New York Islanders.
With Stolarz sidelined, Josef Woll takes over in goal, while prospect Artur Akhtyamov is expected to make his NHL debut in the upcoming game.
