Report: Linesman hit by Wideman still has concussion symptoms
by from on (#14FYP)
Linesman Don Henderson is still dealing with concussion symptoms after being hit by Calgary Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman on Jan. 27, a source told the Calgary Sun's Eric Francis.
Wideman was suspended 20 games by the NHL - a ban upheld by commissioner Gary Bettman earlier in the week. He'll appeal to a neutral arbitrator.
According to Francis' report, Henderson may not return to work this season.
"(Henderson) still can't do anything because he hasn't gone two days symptom-free," Francis' source said. "I don't think he's coming back anytime soon, if at all."
Henderson is 47 years old and a veteran of more than 1,200 games.
