Vegas Golden Knights centre Erik Haula was stretchered off the ice in the third period Tuesday after taking a hit from Toronto’s Patrick Marleau . It was a clean hit, but as Haula hit the boards near centre ice, his right leg buckled as he fell backwards. Haula waved to the crowd as he was taken off the ice. It’s another injury blow for Vegas, which already has centre Paul Stastny on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Haula, a native of Pori, Finland, moved to the U.S. at age 17 to attend Minnesota’s Shattuck-St. Mary’s School, whose alumni include Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Toews.
