Anisimov was tied up with Kyle Quincey behind the Detroit net, Quincey fell on him and it appeared Anisimov's head hit the ice pretty hard.
Report from Larry Murphy who is between the benches is Anisimov was alert when taken off the ice.
added 8:52pm, This post was by me, Paul. I had posted the Abel to Yzerman blog tonight and forgot to sign out as the Chief and sign back in as me.
added 9:00pm, Here is a video of the injury and the Wings are now reporting Quincey suffered a lower-body injury on the play and will not return.
added 9:06pm, Video from the Columbus broadcast can be seen below...

Geez, that is one of the weirdest plays I’ve seen happen, just awful timing. Good thing Calvert kept his balance at the end there or it could’ve been another 200 LBS crashing down on Anisimov. Hopefully he’s okay and will make a quick and full recovery.
