Karlsson leaves Game 4 with apparent leg injury

Erik Karlsson left Thursday's game against the New York Rangers following a collision with J.T. Miller before the end of the second period.

Karlsson left the bench wincing with a noticeable limp as the teams left the ice for the second intermission.

The Senators star admitted to playing Ottawa's first-round series against the Boston Bruins with two hairline fractures in his left heel, but head coach Guy Boucher later said, "he's perfectly healthy now."

Karlsson entered Game 4 leading the Senators with an average ice time of more than 30 minutes.

He played nearly 15 minutes over two periods before departing Thursday night.
