Buffalo Sabres forward Beck Malenstyn appeared to take a skate to the hand in Friday’s Game 2 but stayed on the ice against the Montreal Canadiens while killing a penalty.
The incident happened in the second period of Friday’s game while the Sabres were killing the leftover time on a first-period penalty to Josh Doan.

Jordan Greenway leveled Canadiens rookie of the year finalist Ivan Demidov with a big hit in the defensive end. Demidov’s skate came up and appeared to clip Malenstyn. His glove came off and he shook his hand.
Demidov got up and skated to the Canadiens dressing room, but Malenstyn couldn’t leave because the Sabres were still killing the penalty.
Playing with one glove, he eventually dived to clear the puck and then skated immediately to the dressing room.
The Sabres were trailing 2-0 at the time and later fell behind 3-0.
