He left after blocking a shot in the first period, after earlier going down hard when cross-checked by Nathan MacKinnon. “We essentially played without him the last game. ... We shifted everybody around last game, so it’s not a major adjustment,” DeBoer said. “He left early and then Smith left for part of the game. So we were down to 10 forwards for the middle portions of that game. So, you know, tonight will be a luxury to have 12 guys.”
