Senators' Scott Sabourin Stretchered Off vs. Bruins After Suffering Scary Injury

Ottawa Senators forward Scott Sabourin was stretchered off the ice following a collision with Boston Bruins forward David Backes on Saturday at TD Garden in Boston, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com).

Sabourin delivered a hit on Backes as the Bruins forward emptied the puck from his own zone, but the two collided awkwardly, with the right side of Sabourin's head connecting with Backes' helmet. Sabourin immediately went limp and suffered another hit to the head from the ice as he fell.

Medical personnel from both teams attended to Sabourin as Backes was visibly upset following the incident.
