Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg left Saturday's game with just over one second left in the first period after taking a hit from the Philadelphia Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen.

The 6-foot-4, 221-pound defenseman checked Forsberg hard into the boards late in the first, leaving Forsberg to be helped off the ice. He did not return.

Matt Duchene scored the winner for Nashville in overtime.

Forsberg leads the Predators with 19 goals and is tied for the team lead in points with 42.
