STAR defenseman left the practice earlier due to injury

Erik Karlsson is a vital part of the team, he plays a massive role on the ice, with 71 points (17 goals, 54 assists) in 77 games it will be difficult for the Senators to face the Bruins without him, should he not skate tonight.

Erik Karlsson is out since the end of the regular season. As he was looking to feel better in the past few days, it appears things turned out differently as he left the ice in the middle of the practice this morning.

He was skating earlier with Marc Methot.

*** UPDATE ***

Erik Karlsson meets the media after the Sens last practice before game 2 against the Bruins and says he’s feeling better every day even if he left the ice earlier.
