Anthony Beauvillier Injury: Why did Blackhawks forward exit game against Predators?

Chicago Blackhawks forward Anthony Beauvillier was plagued with an apparent injury during Tuesday's matchup against the Nashville Predators.

The 26-year-old forward got himself injured during the second period after taking a hit from the Preds player while attempting to take control of puck possession near the boards.

Beauvillier's instantaneous response to the hit was an indication of trouble for the Hawks, as he went into the locker room in pain. The Hawks later announced that Beauvilliuer would not return to the game:

"MEDICAL UPDATE: Anthony Beauvillier will not return to tonight’s game."

The 26-year-old forward skated for 11 shifts and logged 8:34 minutes of ice time before leaving the contest. It came out as another setback for the Blackhawks who are already dealing with injuries to some of their key players.
