An NHL referee was stretchered off the ice and brought to the hospital on Monday evening … however, fortunately, it seems he’ll be OK.
The scary scene all unfolded in the course of the Avalanche vs. Flyers sport in Philadelphia … after Colorado defenseman Josh Manson by accident crashed into Mitch Dunning close to the blue line.

Manson hit Dunning within the again with such pressure that it brought about the official to lose his stability and tumble to the ice. For a number of moments, Dunning then lay immobile as trainers raced to his support.
Dunning — a former professional hockey participant — was ultimately strapped to a backboard and transported to a close-by hospital.
The NHL mentioned in a press release late Monday evening that, luckily, early check outcomes got here again with excellent news.
“All neurological signs are normal,” the league mentioned, “he is fully communicative and can move all his extremities.”
The Flyers vs. Avs tilt continued on with out Dunning with simply three officers on the ice. Colorado ended up successful, 3-2.
