NHL off-ice official injured during Game 3 of series between Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes

An off-ice official was injured during Game 3 of the first-round Stanley Cup playoff series in Boston on Friday when a panel of glass fell on him.

The Bruins were leading the Carolina Hurricanes, 3-1, in the second period when fans began repeatedly banging on the glass until it dislodged to land on the penalty-box attendant. The gentleman slumped immediately to the ground and was said to have been knocked out cold.

Trainers from both teams quickly came to his aid, and a stretcher was produced to transport the attendant for further medical attention.
