"Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson left Wednesday's game against the Detroit Red Wings during the first period with a lower-body injury, and will not return. Ekman-Larsson went to the dressing room midway through the frame. It appeared that Ekman-Larsson sustained an injury after getting tangled up with Red Wings forward Lucas Raymond. Here is a video of the incident:"
""I always came into the season wanting to play good for the Leafs and for my teammates here and give me a chance to be on that team," Ekman-Larsson said to reporters on January 6. "So I'm lying if I'm saying I haven't really thought about it, to be honest with you. But very proud of myself of being named and getting a chance. With that being said, my teammates and the organization have been able to help me out.""
