Colorado Avalanche leader Nathan McKinnon suffered a lower body injury in a clash with the Russian during a regular championship match against the Ottawa Senators (3-4 OT).
The incident came in the middle of the second period when McKinnon and defender Artem Zub were battling for the puck at the side. The attacker tried a forceful reception and then knelt, holding on to his right thigh, after the Russian pushed him in the fight.
McKinnon never appeared on the ice again. How serious his injury is is still unknown.
McKinnon, the winner of the Hart Trophy-2024 (the most valuable regular player), this season scored 30 (10+20) points in 20 games and is fifth in the list of the best scorers in the NHL.
