SUNRISE, Fla. -- The status of Florida Panthers center Nick Bjugstad was unclear as they prepared to travel for Game 6 of their Eastern Conference First Round against the New York Islanders at Barclays Center on Sunday (7 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBS, TVA Sports, SUN, MSG+).
Bjugstad sustained an upper-body injury early in the second overtime of the 2-1 loss in Game 5 when he lost his balance and his head hit the boards. Bjugstad stayed on the ice for several minutes before a trainer helped him off the ice.
