Ottawa Senators forward Nick Cousins is expected to miss serious time after controversial knee-on-knee collision with Maple Leafs rookie Jacob Quillan.

The 31-year-old veteran was injured on Saturday night in a knee-on-knee collision with Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Jacob Quillan.

Leafs fans routinely invade Ottawa for games at Canadian Tire Centre, something that doesn't go unnoticed by players like Shane Pinto.

Bobby McMann — who made his debut on the top line — had the lone goal for the Leafs as Toronto fell short 2-1 to Ottawa.

That one is hard to forget because Ottawa forward Ridly Greig sealed the victory by firing a slapshot into an empty net. Toronto defenceman Morgan Rielly was so upset with the act he punched Greig in the head and earned a five-game suspension.

The Ottawa Senators will be without center Nick Cousins for the next six-to-eight weeks due to a knee injury, reports Postmedia’s Bruce Garrioch. Garrioch adds that Cousins will also seek a second medical opinion on the injury and its anticipated recovery timeline.

The Ottawa Senators return home following a three-game road trip when they take on the Toronto Maple Leafs tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. ET.
