Vancouver Canucks defenseman Philip Larsen was taken off the ice on a stretcher in the second period against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday.
Larsen was hit by Devils forward Taylor Hall at 14:27 and fell hard to the ice.
He was on the ice for several minutes. Teammates Henrik Sedin and Brandon Sutter helped lift Larsen onto the stretcher. He was taken to a hospital for further evaluation.
"I haven't had a late update but from what I've been told he's moving his extremities and he's awake and responding," Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said after the game.
"I don't know if he will stay [in New Jersey] the rest of the night, but I would assume he would, yes."
"You always worry about your players, about their health, and he lay motionless for quite a while so it was a concern for sure."
Larsen, 27, had four assists in 17 games this season.
