It was a scary scene on Saturday night in Binghamton as Ottawa prospect and second year pro Nick Paul took an inadvertent skate to his forearm and was rushed off the ice with Sens athletic trainer Jeff Andrews with a towel applied to Paul’s arm with a trail of blood behind them. It appeared an artery was cut as he was sent off to the hospital to undergo emergency surgery.
The injury happened right off a faceoff in the offensive zone as a Syracuse player was interfered with after the puck was dropped. The momentum carried him to the ice with his legs in the air as one of his skates caught the forearm of Paul where their is no padding, right where the glove ends.
