Hanzal left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and will not return.
Analysis:
Hanzal logged just 5:41 of ice time prior to leaving but made his presence felt in a short amount of time by notching a goal and two shots on net. The goal extends his point streak to five games and gives him seven points over that span. It's an unfortunate time for the injury, but it's probably best to consider the 29-year-old forward day-to-day heading into Saturday's matchup with the Capitals until something suggests otherwise.
