Leafs' Polak injured after hit from Orpik leads to awkward landing
by from on (#2K7X3)
The Toronto Maple Leafs are down another defenseman.
With Nikita Zaitsev already sidelined with an injury, Roman Polak was forced to leave Game 2 after a collision with Brooks Orpik of the Washington Capitals that resulted in an awkward and painful-looking landing.
Disclaimer: the footage is not for the faint of heart.
Polak was helped to his feet and off the ice, but appeared unable to put any weight on his right leg.
The veteran defenseman saw almost 24 minutes of ice time in Game 1.
