Ryan Dzingel was the victim of friendly fire Thursday night.
The Ottawa Senators forward left Thursday's game against the Boston Bruins after taking an Erik Karlsson slap shot to the side of the head.
Dzingel was seen holding his left ear as he made his way to the locker room, and didn't return for the start of the second period.
His night, however, didn't end.
Ryan Dzingel will return.

The 24-year-old has been a revelation of sorts for the Senators this season, recording five goals and five assists in 19 games prior to this one.
