Toronto Maple Leafs veteran defenceman Morgan Rielly left Saturday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens with a lower-body injury and didn’t return to action.
Following the 4-2 loss, head coach Jim Hiller did not have an update on Rielly’s status.
Rielly had 5:45 of ice time before he was forced to exit.
The 32-year-old has 12 assists over 18 games this season with the Maple Leafs, his 14th in Toronto.
Selected fifth overall by the Maple Leafs in 2012, Rielly has 98 goals and 463 assists over 969 career games with the organization.
With the loss, the Maple Leafs are now 8-8-2 on the season and have dropped the opening two games of their six-game road trip in regulation with contests against the New Jersey Devils (Sunday), Colorado Avalanche (Tuesday), Minnesota Wild (Thursday) and Edmonton Oilers (Saturday) remaining.
