Maple Leafs' Chris Tanev suffers horrific injury vs. Flyers

Toronto Maple Leafs blueliner Chris Tanev sustained a horrific injury on Saturday night in Philadelphia. During the third period of the Maple Leafs-Flyers game, Tanev collided with Flyers forward Matvei Michkov.

The contact didn’t seem overly violent, but it was violent enough to snap Tanev’s head back. The whiplash effect left Tanev motionless on the ice.

Here’s a look at the frightening play:
