He suffered an upper-body injury in the second period when he crashed into the boards. Middleton needed assistance from the team trainer to get off the ice. The 29-year-old recorded two blocks and two hits with a minus-one rating in 12:23 of action. Over the season, Middleton has produced 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 66 appearances, along with 155 blocks and 98 hits.
