It was a tough Tuesday for a bunch of top NHL players.
In the span of just a few hours, several key players exited their respective games with injuries.
Wednesday will be a tense day for their teams as they wait for further evaluations.
Here's a look at some of the key players hurt:
The seven-time All-Star left midway through the second period against the Winnipeg Jets. It was unclear what caused the injury.
The Wild's top defenceman left with an upper-body injury midway through the first period against the St. Louis Blues.
Josh Morrissey, Winnipeg Jets
The Jets' top defenceman suffered a lower-body injury in the second period when he crashed into Winnipeg's net. He tried to keep playing, but was ruled out for the third period.
The centre exited early in the third period against Pittsburgh with an upper-body injury. The setback comes with Monahan on a scoring surge in recent games.
The Flames forward appeared to be badly injured after a knee-on-knee hit from Anaheim defenceman Drew Helleson. Zary eventually made his way off the ice with assistance from teammates, but he was not putting any weight on his left leg.
Malkin didn't make it on the ice for a game against Columbus. The team said before the game the 19-year veteran is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
The centre, who has been plagued by injuries throughout his career, left Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars with an upper-body injury.
