Detroit Red Wings forward Marian Hossa was hospitalized for observation after crashing head-first into the boards after being checked in the first period of Tuesday night's game against the St. Louis Blues.
Hossa, who leads the team with 34 goals and 27 assists in 62 games, did not lose consciousness and had feeling in his limbs, team spokesman John Hahn said. The game was delayed for several minutes while Hossa lay prone near the end boards in the Blues' end.
Medical personnel took extra attention because Hossa missed the previous two games with a neck injury, Hahn added. Hossa was taken off the ice while strapped to a gurney.
Hossa was knocked to the ice and slid heavily into the end boards after a hit by defenseman Roman Polak, who drew a two-minute penalty for roughing.
디트로이트의 포워드 메리언 호사(Marian Hossa)가 1피리어드 5분쯤에 블루스의 로만 폴랑크(Roman Polak)의 바디체크로 팬스에 부딛치면서 병원에 실려갔습니다. 작년 막판 펭귄스의 플옵을 위해 영입되어 12경기에서 10포인트(3골, 7어시스트)를 기록했지만, 올시즌 내내 펭귄스의 홈구장(멜론 아레나)에서 많은 야유를 받았었죠.
호사는 어디서 본건 있어서 들것에 실려가면서 손가락으로 "V"자를 그리더군요.
현재 산호세 삭스(San Jose Sharks)가 댈러스 스타즈(Dallas Stars)에게 리딩당하고 있기때문에 오늘 경기에 따라 서부 컨퍼런스 1위에 한 걸음 전진할 수 있는 계기가 마련되었는데 bad news군요.
