Tkachuk absolutely levels Eichel, Eichel leaves the game in pain

Radko Gudas was down... and now he's out.

The veteran defenseman was questionable to play in this evening's game due to an undisclosed injury but he took warmup for the Florida Panthers and worked his way into the lineup for Game 2.

Well... that lasted less than a period.

Gudas got absolutely ROCKED by Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Ivan Barbashev this evening and has since left the game.

Here's the hit in question:

A better look:

KA-BOOOM!

UPDATE: HE'S BACK!
