Hockey player Dylan Holloway is in stable condition after a terrifying incident on the ice.
The St. Louis Blues forward was taken off the hockey rink in a stretcher and transported to the hospital after taking a puck to the neck in the first period of the team’s Nov. 5 game against Tampa Bay Lightning.
After the play, the NHL star skated to the bench and began holding his neck as teammates and officials began to inspect the situation, as was seen in footage captured by ESPN.
“I was just sitting beside him and saw something was happening,” teammate Alexey Toropchenko told reporters after the game. “I told Ray [Barile, the Blues’ trainer]. He knows what he’s doing. I was just kind of curious to what’s going on. Doctors came in and, like, I think everything is good right now. But we were worried, everybody.”
Blue coach Drew Bannister expressed his concern for his player while speaking with reporters.
"I think the only way I can put it to you guys is if you're at work, you get a call that one of your family members is sick and rushed to the hospital," Bannister said of Holloway’s injury. "Holly is a family member. That was a tough. I thought we, as a group, showed a lot of fortitude mentally being able to push through that.”
As for the team’s ability to finish the game while Holloway, 23, was in the St. Louis hospital, Bannister added, “We were able to get updates on Holly and kind of put our minds at ease a little bit, and we focused ourselves.”
The Blues beat the Lightning 3 to 2, and the team was encouraged by the update they received on Holloway’s condition.
"From what we've heard, he's doing well,” Bannister added. “It's a good sign."
