The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime on Sunday, 3-2. While the Maple Leafs secured their Eastern Conference-best 26th win of the season, they also got some bad news as they lost one of their top defensemen to a scary-looking head injury.
Late in the first period Jake McCabe took exception to Philadelphia's Garnet Hathaway interfering with goalie Dennis Hildeby. Even though a penalty was called and Hildeby was fine, McCabe decided to get physical with one of the toughest players in the NHL. McCabe got away with shoving Hathaway's head into the ice and then the two players dropped their gloves.
