Another player stretchered from the ice in the NHL. In Sunday Night's game between the Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche, Ryan Lomberg freight-trained Jacob MacDonald, leaving him unconscious on the ice. He would eventually be stretchered off. In the meantime, Nicolas Aube-Kubel stepped up for his teammate, forcing Lomberg to fight. There was no penalty for the hit.
Here is the latest from the Colorado Avalanche on MacDonald's status:
"Jacob MacDonald left tonight's game after taking a hit in the second period. He is alert, responsive and has full movement. He is currently undergoing further evaluation at Ball Arena."
Update: reports say MacDonald stayed at the arena. He is alert and moving.
