ST. LOUIS – Blues defender Philippe Broberg left Saturday night’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs with a lower-body injury in the second period.

Broberg collided with Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner in a battle for the puck 8:08 into the period. Marner landed on Broberg’s right leg, and Broberg couldn’t put much weight on his leg as he was helped off the ice and into the Blues locker room.

The team announced later in the period that Broberg would not return to the game. Blues coach Drew Bannister had no update on Broberg’s status after the Blues beat Maple Leafs 4-2.

“He fought so hard for us and took some hits,” the Blues goaltender said. Jordan Binnington said. “But he’s a warrior. I know he’ll come back the best he can and whenever he can, and it was good to see the guys really rally together and support each other.”

Broberg was signed as a restricted free agent this offseason to a two-year, $9.16 million deal, costing St. Louis a 2025 second-round pick after Edmonton declined to match to the Blues’ offer.

Broberg was tied with Jordan Kyrou for the team in the lead with nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 11 games coming into play.

“He is an integral part of our defensive corps and our team,” said the Blues defender. Colton Parayko said. “He’s playing a lot of minutes, playing against a lot of the top lines, and it’s just great to be in the room and he’s just a good person. Obviously, it’s hard to see.”
