| Sunrise, FL (MySportsbook) - Florida Panthers forward David Booth left in the second period of Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs with an apparent left leg injury. Just short of the midway point, Booth couldn't see as he skated into Toronto goaltender Vesa Toskala at the top of the crease. He immediately fell to the ice, and clutched his leg around the knee. Booth has 30 points this season, and his 18 goals are third-most among Florida players. |
