Brandon Tanev took an awkward hit from Vegas's Brett Howden in the neutral zone late in Tuesday night's game. The primary point of contact appeared to be Tanev's head and the on-ice officials agreed as Howden was given a match penalty for the play after a quick review.
Making matters worse, Tanev fell awkwardly, collapsing entirely on his left leg, which appeared to cause the player more distress than the head contact. Tanev remained on the ice for a long time but he was eventually able to skate off with a trainer as he favored his right leg. Tanev would not return to the game.
