Tkachuk injured in Game 2 and it does NOT look good

Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk has been forced out of action early in Game 2 of his team's opening round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Dallas Stars after taking a heavy shoulder to shoulder hit from Stars captain Jamie Benn.

Oof... Tkachuk has rightly called it a night and will not return to the game.
