Kyle Clifford sustained an upper-body injury in Wednesday's Game 1 victory over Vancouver when he was hit from behind into the boards by Canucks forward Byron Bitz. Bitz received a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct, which may result in supplemental discipline, while Clifford wasn't able to return. The Los Angeles forward sat on the bench for the rest of second period and remained in the locker room for the third. Clifford appeared to be dazed when he got up from the contact, but details regarding his status are still uncertain at this time.
