It remains to be seen if the Ottawa Senators can avoid losing against the Philadelphia Flyers tonight, but either way, it’s been a costly night.
The Senators saw two forwards leave the game with injuries, as Milan Michalek and Mika Zibanejad were banged up on Tuesday.
Michalek may have gotten hurt blocking a shot while a Radko Gudas hit on Zibanejad left the Senators forward with an upper-body injury.
#Sens Mika Zibanejad will be held out of the rest of the game for precautionary reasons after being hit in the head earlier in the period.

Gudas may get a call from the league for his infractions.
Michalek, Zibanejad and Turris all victims of Radko Gudas. Turris back in game. Gudas forearm on Zibanejad worth Dept of Player Safety attn.

Update: Michalek’s issue could be significant.
Michalek (hand) will be "out for awhile" says Cameron. The Gudas hit on Zibanejad should have been a major, said Cameron #sens

The Flyers ended up beating the Senators 4-2, so a tough night for Ottawa.
