The mood was sombre in the Montreal Canadiens dressing room after their loss to the Ottawa Senators on Friday night at the team’s rookie tournament, as the team was still reeling from the injury to Jake Evans that had him transported to hospital.
“It’s never fun,” said Will Bitten, who is also Evans’ roommate. “I didn’t really see the hit, I just saw how he hit his head on the ice and it’s always worrisome to see that happen and I hope he’s OK.”
Evans was conscious and alert when he was sent to hospital for further tests on Friday night.
