Montreal Canadiens forward Chris Kreider left Thursday’s 5–2 win over the Boston Bruins after a collision in the third period at TD Garden.

Boston forward Michael Eyssimont lost his balance in the neutral zone and slid into Kreider, who went to the dressing room, as Sportsnet and TVA reported. The NHL’s play-by-play logged an injury stoppage with 13:33 remaining, and the league’s shift chart shows Kreider did not play again.

Kreider finished the game with one shot in 9:08 of ice time. He signed a one-year contract with Montreal in September after spending last season with the Anaheim Ducks.
