Report: Gaudreau feeling 'no significant effects' from McAvoy hit

The Calgary Flames appear to have avoided a substantial scare, as star winger Johnny Gaudreau is feeling "no significant effects" Thursday from the hit that led to his removal from Wednesday's game, reports Sportsnet's Eric Francis.

Concussion spotters pulled Gaudreau as a result of this hit by Boston Bruins blue-liner Charlie McAvoy in the third period of Calgary's 5-2 win.

McAvoy won't face any supplemental discipline for the hit, Francis adds.

Prior to his premature departure, Gaudreau buried his third goal of the season, bringing his total to nine points in six games.

Calgary's next game comes Friday versus the Nashville Predators.
