Cogliano out indefinitely with fractured neck

Andrew Cogliano has a fractured neck, as first reported by Elliotte Friedman. The injury came in the second period from a dirty hit from Jordan Eberle to the back of Cogliano, knocking him out for the rest of the period.

Ugly ugly hit. Right on the numbers, right on the boards, and Cogliano certainly hurt by that intent. So, is that suspendable? #GoAvsGo pic.twitter.com/57k0XssRqC

Cogliano somehow managed to finish the game in the third period and pull out the win, but a fractured neck is a horrifying injury.
