Florida Panthers star defenseman Aaron Ekblad left his teams game against the New York Islanders with a seemingly very painful injury.
Upon closer review, it appears that the Islanders' Oliver Wahlstrom popped Ekblad's shoulder out.

Hopefully this isn't a long-term injury for Ekblad, who has already missed time this season.
For a Panthers team now in the bottom-10 in the standings, they can't afford to lose their #1 guy.
