It was a scary scene Monday when Carolina Hurricanes goalie Eddie Lack collapsed to the ice after a collision with Andreas Athanasiou of the Detroit Red Wings.
Athanasiou hit Lack in the head with his right side as he drove the net and scored the overtime winner for the Red Wings at PNC Arena. Lack was down on the ice, surrounded by trainers and medical personnel, for more than 10 minutes before being stretchered off and taken to UNC Rex Hospital.
The Hurricanes said in a tweet Tuesday that Lack underwent scans at Rex and the injury was diagnosed as a neck strain.
