Detroit Red Wings forward Luke Glendening is out for the rest of the NHL season with a fractured ankle and foot.
The Red Wings announced the injury on Thursday.
Glendening, 27, was hurt in Monday’s 4-3 overtime loss in Carolina. It hasn’t been determined if surgery will be required.
“Very disappointed,” coach Jeff Blashill said in a release. “He’s a heart and soul guy, somebody that gives you everything he’s got. He’s had three years in a row that, going into the offseason, even though he was able to finish the year, he’s had issues. That’s not easy on your training. It’s got to be disappointing for sure.”
Glendening had three goals and 14 points in 74 games.
The Wings hold a 31-33-12 record entering Thursday’s game in Tampa Bay. They have been eliminated from post-season contention for the first time since 1989-90.
