Montreal Canadiens star defenseman P.K. Subban was taken off the ice on a stretcher in the third period of Thursday’s game versus the Buffalo Sabres.
Subban was hurt on a collision with teammate Alexei Emelin in the corner along the boards with less than three minutes remaining in regulation.
The Habs managed to hang on for the 3-2 victory.
