Edmonton Oilers center Colby Cave is fighting for his life after the team says he was placed in a medically induced coma after suffering a brain bleed.
The team made the announcement Tuesday ... saying the 25-year-old became ill overnight and has since been admitted into the critical care unit at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.
"Please keep Colby & his wife Emily in your thoughts & prayers at this time," the Oilers said in a statement.
Cave -- who was undrafted -- made his NHL debut with the Boston Bruins in 2017, playing in three games.
