Toronto Maple Leafs: Andreas Johnsson Injured by Knee on Knee Hit
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Andreas Johnsson was injured during last night’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
The 23 year old emerging star wingers was having a great year, and had already scored once in the game, when he was viciously kneed by Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb.
Johnsson left the game and did not return.
No update on his condition has been released.

McNabb was penalized on the play, but he should face a suspension for the dirty play. The NHL, however, is way too lenient on dangerous plays, and most likely if he is suspended at all, it will be just for a single game.
But I doubt he’ll even get that.
