The Montreal Canadiens were forced to close game 4 on Sunday to Man Down on the blue line.
Defense Alexandre Carrier left the game with an apparent injury in the third period. It was the second time in the game that went to the locker room after leaving in the first 20 minutes before returning.
The second injury was apparently a blow to the Washington Capital striker, Tom Wilson, who sent operator to the boards, establishing a game goal for visitors.
The initial lesion occurred in the middle of the first period. Alex Ovechkin was a blow to the carrier but lost; However, his legs seemed to collide in the work and the carrier struggled to put weight.
He remained in the game a little, but then returned to the team’s locker room.
Goalkeeper Jakub Dobes believes that the work should have been better handled by officials.
“I felt that it will be a whistle because they were in their defensive zone and very far, I guess I really don’t know the rules,” Dobs told journalists after the game.
“I felt that it should have been a whistle. It was a terrifying success, but I guess the rules do not apply to everyone in this league. I have no idea.”
Originally from the city of Quebec, Carrier has been a solid addition to the blue line of Montreal since he joined the team in an exchange with Nashville predators in December.
The 28 -year -old has two goals and 16 assists through 51 games with the Canadiens.
The Canadiens have already fought with injuries in their first round series against the capitals. Striker Patrik Laine has lost the last two games with an injury at the top of the body, and goalkeeper Sam Montembeault lost game 4 and appears on a day -to -day basis.
