Avalanche's Philipp Grubauer Helped Off The Ice With Injury in Game 1 Against Stars

Philipp Grubauer extended his right pad and went down, needing help off the ice. Pavel Francouz took over the net for the Avalanche. Grubauer had previously missed significant time in the regular season due to a similar injury. He remained down and immobile, showing signs of a potential groin injury.
