Phillip Danault stretchered off the ice after taking an errant Zdeno Chara slapshot in the head

Phillip Danault has been taken off the ice via stretcher after taking a slaphot off the helmet from Zdeno Chara.

He seemed to be alert the whole time and was moving all extremities, but the medical staff took no chances in getting him off the ice safely. Hopefully the attention turnd out to just have been precautionary and Danault will return in short order.

UPDATE: An ambulance was seen leaving the Bell Centre, though that is often a standard protocol when dealing with injuries of unknown severity. As of yet, no official update has been given.
