The Calgary Flames announced Saturday that defenceman Noah Hanifin won't return to the team's game vs. the Montreal Canadiens after getting hurt in the first period.
The 24-year-old was injured fewer than five minutes into the opening frame after getting tangled up in a collision with Canadiens forward Corey Perry. Hanifin was slow to get up and needed assistance from a trainer as he left the ice.
There were no further details on his injury.
Hanifin, the fifth-overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, has 15 points in games with the Flames, his third season in Calgary.
