A scary scene arose in Friday night's AHL game between the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Charlotte Checkers. Pittsburgh Penguins prospect Filip Hallander (#58th, 2018) was stretchered off the ice after an awkward collision. The incident happened with 1:12 left in a 4-2 game, and both sides agreed that ending the game would be best.
Hallander, 22, has had a fantastic start to this season, scoring 25 points (8g-17a) in 26 games. His great results this season only add to the disappointment, as nobody ever wants to see a situation unfold like this regardless of one's output.
AHL Insider Tony Androckitis reports that there is no update on Hallander:
"The #WBSPens cancelled their virtual post-game media availability tonight, and there is no update on Filip Hallander from the team at this time.
When they provide an update I'll be sure to pass that information along."
Will update accordingly.
