Vancouver Canucks defenceman Travis Dermott left Thursday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning with an undisclosed injury.
Dermott initially went to the locker room late in the first period, but returned during the second. The 26-year-old was ruled then out for the remainder of the game during the second intermission.
The Newmarket, Ont., native returned to the team back on Dec. 29 after missing a majority of the season with a concussion.
If Dermott won’t be able to play in Saturday’s game against the Florida Panthers, Oliver Ekman-Larsson would be an option to draw in after being a healthy scratch.
