Nick Cousins Exits Game Following Heavy Hit Against Capitals

Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins was forced to leave Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals after absorbing a crushing hit from Jakob Chychrun late in regulation. With under three minutes remaining, Cousins had the puck tangle in his skates before receiving the unpenalized body check. Cousins appeared to lose consciousness before landing face-first on the ice and required help to exit.
