Boston Bruins defenceman Matt Grzelcyk had to be helped off the ice late in the first period of Wednesday’s Game 2 against the St. Louis Blues after taking a hit against the glass from forward Oskar Sundqvist.
Grzelcyk went straight to the locker room after absorbing the hit and Sundqvist was assessed a minor penalty for boarding after a brief discussion took place between the on ice officials.
After the game, head coach Bruce Cassidy said Grzelcyk went to the hospital for evaluation but offered no further update on his condition.
According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, NHL Player Safety is taking a look at the hit but it won't be known until Thursday if it warrants a hearing.
The Blues went on to win the game 3-2 on an overtime winner from Carl Gunnarsson to even the series at one game apiece. Game 3 will go Saturday night from St. Louis.
