Dave Bolland suffers leg injury in Hawks loss
Dave Bolland - C - Chicago Blackhawks
Feb. 2, 2013 - 11:50 AM ET

Second-line center Dave Bolland of the Chicago Blackhawks injured his right leg early in the third period of the team's 2-1 shootout loss to the Canucks in Vancouver Friday night.

The leg crumpled to the ice and Bolland slammed his stick on the boards ' breaking it in two ' before lurching onto the bench and being helped into the dressing room. Bolland had been doing a solid job of filling that long-troublesome second-line center spot, and if he were to miss any time, it would be a serious blow to the Hawks' depth up the middle. Third-liner Andrew Shaw took Bolland's spot between Patrick Kane and Patrick Sharp for the rest of the game.
