Things took a turn for the terrifying late in the second period of tonight’s Boston Bruins-Montreal Canadiens game as Philip Danault of the Habs got hit in the left side of the head/neck by a Zdeno Chara shot.
Danault, a 24-year-old winger, went down immediately and didn’t move much. He was moving his hands and rolled to his stomach later, but was carted off on a stretcher.
The second period ended early so that the medical staff could tend to the injured Hab.
Chara, clearly upset about what happened, could be seen tapping Danault on the back as he lay on the ice and checked on him as he was being wheeled off.
