NEW YORK -- Los Angeles Kings forward Marian Gaborik left the game against the New York Rangers in the first period Friday after injuring his leg.
Gaborik appeared to injure his left leg colliding with Rangers forward Dominic Moore with 4:52 remaining in the period. Gaborik did not put any weight on the leg and was assisted to the dressing room. He did not return for the start of the second period.
Gaborik scored on a power play, his 12th goal of the season, and the Kings were leading 2-1 when he left.
Gaborik has 22 points in 54 games.
