On NHL radio they were saying that period is over and they would start period 2 next. Can they do that?
he took a puck to the throat is all I read. Crazy.
DETROIT (CP) -- Detroit Red Wings defenceman Jiri Fischer collapsed on the team's bench during the first period of a game against the Nashville Predators on Monday night.
It was unclear what caused him to collapse, but reports suggested the 25-year-old Czech took a puck to the throat while seated on the bench with 7:31 left to play in the period.
The game was stopped immediately and players from both teams were sent to their dressing rooms.
An ambulance came to the end of the arena while medical staff attended to Fischer. The ambulance left without Fischer in it, according to a Fox Sportsnet reporter at rinkside.
Red Wings captain Steve Yzerman and forward Brendan Shanahan stayed on the ice and helped Fischer's fiancee, Avery, across the surface to be with the player.
Shortly after Fischer was taken into the bowels of the arena, zambonis came onto the ice to re-surface it.
Nashville was leading 1-0 when the game was stopped.
