In the words of Doc Emrick, Gregory Campbell was "shaken up" after he lay down to block Evgeni Malkin's slap shot during a Penguins power play in last night's second period. Hobbling and barely able to move, Campbell played on for another minute or so, at one point nearly stealing the puck on a lazy pass from Kris Letang. But how badly was he hurt?
This morning, the Bruins confirmed what ESPN Boston's Joe McDonald first reported in the wee hours last night: Campbell has a broken right fibula that will keep him out for the duration of the postseason.
