(VIDEO): Max Pacioretty leaves game after crashing heavily into the boards.

Montreal Canadiens leading scorer Max Pacioretty has left the game in Florida following a collision with Panthers’ defenseman Dmitry Kulikov. After being hit hard, he fell awkwardly into the boards and appears to hit his head. Pacioretty appeared dazed as he was helped to the Canadiens bench. The 26-year-old, who leads the Habs with 37 goals and 67 points, has suffered from concussion problems in the past. Remember this occurs just three games before the Canadiens embark on what they hope will be a deep playoff run. Updates when they occur.
