Sharks' Nick Leddy: Exits Thursday's game

Leddy (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

Leddy sustained the injury early in the first period and was ruled out during the intermission. Per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News, it was a hit by Will Cuylle that took Leddy out of the game. It's unclear if the defenseman will be able to play Friday versus the Devils -- if not, Sam Dickinson will likely draw back in.
