Anaheim Ducks forward Leo Carlsson left Thursday's game against the Calgary Flames after sustaining an injury from a collision with Flames defenceman MacKenzie Weegar.
The incident happened mid-way through the third, as Carlsson collided with Weegar along the boards in front of the penalty box. Weegar fell on Carlsson, who appeared to injure his knee.
He was in visible pain as he was helped off the ice by teammates and didn't appear to be putting weight on his right leg.
Carlsson, selected second-overall by the Ducks at the 2023 NHL Draft, has eight goals and 15 points through 23 games in his rookie campaign. The 18-year-old previously suffered an injury to his right leg during training camp, but was able to make his NHL debut shortly after the regular season began.
