There is a ton of debate on social media over whether this hit was clean or not. There was no penalty for Trouba on that play. Trouba and Riley Stillman would get into it later on and end up with fighting majors.
Following the game, the Blackhawks provided an update and it was good news.
"He's up. He's talking," said Chicago coach Derek King. "He's very responsive."
As for the bad news, this isn't Khaira's first incident involving what appears to be a concussion. Back in April of this year, he was hit hard by Montreal's Alexander Romanov and had to be held up by teammates and officials.
Just a month or so before that, Khaira got dropped by Brett Richie and appeared to have no idea where he was for some time.
One has to wonder if it's not time for Khaira to start thinking more about his health than hockey.
