Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan Reaves was forced to leave Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Flyers after fighting Nicolas Deslauriers.
Reaves fought Deslauriers five minutes into the game, then left for the team’s locker room after his right eye swelled up while he was sitting in the box.
The 37-year-old enforcer came into Tuesday’s contest with 34 penalty minutes and four points in 38 games.
Reaves has been in and out of the Maple Leafs lineup all year, playing on the fourth line when he does crack the active roster.
The Maple Leafs signed Reaves to a three-year, $4.05 million deal this off-season.
