Calgary Flames forward Adam Ruzicka was injured after taking a hard hit from New York Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey Tuesday.
The play occurred late in the first period with the Rangers forechecking in the Flames zone. As Ruzicka moved to play the puck, Vesey came across the ice and hit him hard into the boards.
Ruzicka was slow to get up and went to the Flames locker room. There was no penalty on the play.
Ruzicka, 24, has been a bright spot for the Flames this season — scoring four points in six games entering play Tuesday.
