Nick Cousins Injured Following Hard Hit in Loss to Capitals

Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins was forced to leave Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss against the Washington Capitals after absorbing a heavy hit from Jakob Chychrun late in regulation. Head coach Travis Green reported Cousins was not doing well postgame, though he did not require hospitalization. On-ice officials initially called a major penalty for head contact, but completely rescinded it after reviewing replay video. Cousins did not return.
