Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Justin Schultz left Saturday's game against the Montreal Canadiens following an awkward collision with forward Tomas Plekanec.
Early in the first period, Plekanec bumped Schultz in the corner. The blue-liner then tumbled backward, falling on his ankle. Schultz left the ice with assistance from Pittsburgh's training staff.
Coach Sullivan does not have an update on Justin Schultz's injury. Schultz will be re-evaluated back in Pittsburgh.

Saturday marks just the fourth game of the season for Schultz. In 2017-18, the veteran defenseman appeared in 63 games.
