A scary scene at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Monday night. During the second period, Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Muzzin collided with Canadiens defenceman Chris Wideman. Neither player appeared to see each other coming and after colliding with Wideman, Muzzin's head bounced off the ice.

Muzzin laid on the ice for several minutes before leaving under his own power, but he didn't return to the game. Following the 5-2 loss, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe announced that Muzzin was taken to hospital for tests and he would remain in Montreal the night and not travel with the team to Columbus.

The 32-year-old suffered a concussion in January following a hard hit from St. Louis Blues forward Klim Kostin. Muzzin only returned to the lineup on February 10th.

The main priority here is Muzzin's health. More information regarding Muzzin's status will likely be announced at some point on Tuesday.

In 41 games this season, Muzzin has twelve points (two goals, ten assists), twelve penalty minutes and is a minus-eight.
