Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson sidelined by lower-body injury [ad_1]

Ottawa Senators star defenseman Erik Karlsson left Thursday's 4-1 Game 4 loss to the New York Rangers after the second period with an injury. Karlsson played during the first round with two microfractures in one of his feet from blocking a shot late in the regular season.

Coach Guy Boucher said he expects both Anderson and Karlsson to play in Game 5 on Saturday at Ottawa. The Rangers evened the series at two games apiece with Thursday's win

"We felt it was better for him to keep him off the ice in the (third) period," Boucher said of Karlsson. "He could've come back, but we just wanted to make sure. He has a lower-body injury."
