Ottawa Senators goaltender Matt Murray left Saturday's clash versus the New York Rangers late in the third period after sustaining an apparent injury.
Anton Forsberg replaced Murray in the contest.
The 27-year-old left immediately after Chris Kreider scored to make it 2-1 Senators. Kreider collided with Murray's head after tapping home a feed from Artemi Panarin.
