Matinpalo suffered an undisclosed injury in the third period Thursday and was unable to return, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Scouting Report
National Hockey League squads are in constant search of players that fit his profile: big, right-shooting defensemen who can do a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, he lacks high-end talent and scoring chops. He is the type of player who can fill any number of roles on a hockey team, but lacks a dominant skill.
Long Range Potential: Big depth defenseman.
