Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury was stretchered off the ice and taken to a hospital via ambulance following a scary crash into the boards during Tuesday night's home game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
In a statement, the Jets said that Fleury, 29, "was fully alert and moving his extremities upon departure." The Jets said they will "provide more information when we have it."
Fleury was injured in the latter half of the first period, when he fell awkwardly after he was shoved by Vegas' Keegan Kolesar and slid hard into the boards, his back taking the brunt of the impact. He was seen on the broadcast moving on the ice while being attended to by a trainer, but he was removed from the playing surface on a backboard and stretcher.
Kolesar was not penalized for his check, but immediately fought Jets captain Adam Lowry when play resumed.
