Predators' Colton Sissons Exits vs. Golden Knights with Lower-Body Injury

Nashville Predators forward Colton Sissons left during the first period of Saturday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights at Bridgestone Arena with what appeared to be a lower-body injury.

After taking a hit and falling awkwardly to the ice behind the Vegas net, Sissons remained down on the ice for several minutes and appeared to be in significant pain while being tended to by Predators head athletic trained Kevin Morley.

Sissons was eventually helped to his feet and off the ice by teammates Steven Stamkos and Michael Bunting, and he was not putting any weight on his left leg as he was helped back to the Nashville locker room. 

Sissons did not return to the game and was seen leaving Bridgestone Arena on crutches during the third period. The Predators have yet to provide any further update on his injury status.
