BUFFALO — Rangers forward Ryan Strome was on the ice Tuesday when Jacob Trouba body checked Chicago forward Jujhar Khaira, knocking him on his back, where he lay motionless until he was taken off the ice on a stretcher and then to the hospital.
As several Chicago players rushed to confront Trouba, and several Rangers went to defend him, Strome went to Khaira, and waved frantically for the Chicago training staff to get on the ice and administer to him. Then, when the training staff was helping Khaira, Strome waved to the emergency personnel behind the Zamboni entrance to bring the stretcher onto the ice.
