New York Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey could miss the remainder of the Eastern Conference Final against the Florida Panthers.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette said Vesey was "week-to-week" with an upper-body injury sustained in Game 2.
The 30-year-old left Friday's game after the second period following a heavy hit from Panthers forward Ryan Lomberg. No penalty was assessed on the play.
The Boston native has one goal and two assists in 11 playoff games this year.
Vesey had 13 goals and 13 assists in 80 regular-season games.
The injury could open the door for forward Blake Wheeler to return in Game 3. Wheeler, who took part in pre-game warmup on Friday, has been out since suffering a lower-body injury on Feb. 15.
