Mark Giordano departs Game 5 after hit from Pat Maroon

There was more rough stuff between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs, this time at the end of the second period of tonight's Game 6 of their opening round Stanley Cup Playoffs series. The melee began when hard-nosed Lightning forward trucked veteran defenseman Mark Giordano into the half wall, causing the latter to collapse to the ice in pain. 

And while on-ice officials worked to get everything sorted out, Giordano slowly made his way to the dressing room. And according to multiple reports, he has not returned to the Leafs bench for the start of the 3rd period. Meanwhile, Maroon would be assessed a two-minute minor penalty for roughing.
