Penguins’ Dumoulin left Game 1 after late boarding incident

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin was forced to leave Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals after being boarded by Ondrej Palat of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Head coach Mike Sullivan did not have an update on the defenseman's status immediately following the game.

Kris Letang was also boarded earlier in the game but was able to return and is said to be fine, according to the coach.

Dumoulin is averaging over 20 minutes a night in the playoffs, with four assists in 12 games.
