Buffalo Sabres defenseman Victor Antipin has a concussion, a broken nose, facial lacerations, and dental injuries after being boarded by Scott Hartnell on Saturday night, the team announced Sunday.
With the season set to wrap in a week, it's safe to say Antipin won't play again during the 2017-18 campaign.
Antipin was stretchered off Saturday night and taken to the hospital, but he will travel with Buffalo out of Nashville, the Sabres added.
Hartnell was given a five-minute major for boarding on the play, and the Predators forward may still hear from the Department of Player Safety.
