Replays appeared to show the veteran Bouwmeester collapse at the end of the Blues’ bench after a whistle. Players immediately called for assistance from medical staff and Bouwmeester was taken into the dressing room. The game was delayed while personnel tended to him, and both teams left the ice out of respect for the severity of the incident.
