added 9:18pm, via Adrian Dater of All Things Avs,
Say your prayers, folks, for Ryan O’Reilly. The Avalanche center crashed into the boards a few minutes ago, his head and neck going awkwardly into the boards after trying to play a puck against Minnesota’s Matt Cullen on a Wild power play.
He is being wheeled off on a stretcher, his body immobilized. He did not move any limbs or give any thumbs up or anything as he was being carried off.
Let’s just hope for the best. More details as they emerge.

Looks like he toe-picked on the back of the skate of the Wild player…

Glad that he is moving his extremities. How scary!

Get well soon. I hope the precautionary hospital stay is just that and he’s skating again this week.

Matt Duchene tweeted that he was on the charter flight back home with the rest of the team.
