Florida Panthers forward Denis Malgin has left Monday’s game against the New Jersey Devils and will not return after suffering an upper-body injury.
Malgin was hit into the boards by Devils forward Pavel Zacha with 7:43 remaining in the first period.
Zacha received a five-minute major for boarding, while Malgin was able to skate off the ice under his own power.
The Swiss rookie entered Monday’s actions with four goals and eight points in 36 games this season.
