Share

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Michal Rozsival had been having a pretty solid second round against the Minnesota Wild. Now it looks like he could be sidelined for a while.

Rozsival suffered a left-leg injury in the second period as the Blackhawks faced the Wild in Game 4 on Thursday night. Rozsival fell trying to defend Tomas Vanek, his left foot twisting awkwardly under him as he went down. Rozsival stayed face down on the ice for several moments.

He was unable to put any weight on his left leg and had to be helped off by teammates.

Corey Crawford stopped Vanek’s backhand breakaway on the play. The Wild finally ended their scoreless drought about a minute later, as Erik Haula scored to cut the Blackhawks lead to 2-1. It was the Wild’s first goal since the third period of Game 2.
