Players called for trainer Mike Vogt to assist Bobrovsky off the ice with over five minutes left in the third period and his team leading 2-1. It's unknown how the 27-year-old suffered the injury, but Rob Mixer of BlueJackets.com indicated it's likely an upper-body issue.
#CBJ athletic trainer Mike Vogt was having a long look at Bobrovsky's head/neck/chest area before he left. No other update right now.

Curtis McElhinney entered the game in Bobrovsky's place, allowing a late third period goal to Jeff Carter that sent the game into overtime, where defenseman Alec Martinez scored the game-winner for Los Angeles.
