IMO the decision is:

A. Is his injury going to be worse with further play. If yes, pull him out.
B. If no, then ask whether it’s reasonable to have him play through whatever level of pain is involved. If no, then pull him out.
C. If he can handle the pain and it’s not going to make his injury worse, is he better than whoever would take his place on the roster? If there’s no one better, you would normally keep him in until there’s no reason to do so.
If this injury happened in game 6 couldn't the team have put him on LTIR and found a much better potential replacement through trade with the new cap space? At least something better than Gawdin or Ruzicka.
