On Monday night, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Calvin de Haan got hit in the eye with a stick blade on the follow-through of a shot from Colorado Avalanche forward Alexander Kerfoot.
de Haan left the game immediately and did not return. He went to a Denver-area hospital to receive further evaluation and treatment before flying back to Raleigh with the team.
Today, Hurricanes general manager Don Waddell released the following statement:
“Calvin sustained an injury to his right eye last night, but was released from the hospital in time to make the flight home with the team.
