Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jacob MacDonald was taken off the ice on a stretcher early in the second period of Sunday’s home game against the Florida Panthers.
MacDonald took a hard check from Florida forward Ryan Lomberg along the boards in the Avalanche zone at 2:15 of the period. McDonald went down on his back and wasn’t moving when he was attended to by the Colorado medical staff.
The 28-year-old was placed on a stretcher after a few minutes and was carried off the ice.
Avalanche forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel went after Lomberg immediately after the hit and the two drew fighting majors. Lomberg did not get a penalty for the check.
