Florida Panthers defenceman Radko Gudas is out for the remainder of Game 2 after taking a crushing hit by Vegas Golden Knights forward Ivan Barbashev on Monday.
Barbashev, who has been throwing his weight around liberally during the playoffs, laid out Gudas against the boards early in the first period. Gudas got up off the ice under his own power and made his way to the dressing room.
