Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Connor Carrick has left Tuesday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets and will not return after taking a hit from Mathieu Perreault.
Carrick appeared to be favouring his right shoulder on the Leafs bench in the first period before exiting the game for good.
The 22-year-old has two goals and five assists this season, in a career-high 55 games.
Toronto acquired the Orland Park, Ill., native from the Washington Capitals at last season’s trade deadline.
