Lower body injury, speculated to be Khabby's old groin again. You can see him having difficulty getting up after the 2nd Detroit goal.

Jon, Detroit is always tough....I just hope the Hawks keep playing them close.

100% legal? I dunno, he led with his forearm. Definitely not warranting a 5 minute major nor a game ejection, but certainly worthy of 2 for roughing. Be different if he caught him with the shoulder first, but from my perspective it was the forearm.
