Blues’ Broberg helped off ice after collision in 2nd

NHL

ST. LOUIS — Blues defenseman Philip Broberg left Saturday night’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs with a lower body injury in the second period.

Broberg collided with Maple leafs forward Mitch Marner in a battle for the puck 8:08 into the period. Marner landed on Broberg’s right leg, and Broberg was unable to put much weight on his leg as he was helped off the ice into the Blues’ locker room.

The team announced later in the period that Broberg would not return to the game.

Broberg was signed as a restricted free agent this offseason to a two-year, $9.16 million contract, costing St. Louis a 2025 second-round draft pick after Edmonton declined to match the Blues’ offer sheet.

Broberg was tied with Jordan Kyrou for the team lead with nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 11 games entering play.
