Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden left the ice on a stretcher Thursday after getting hit awkwardly by Nashville Predators winger Filip Forsberg.
Howden was already falling before Forsberg went to hit him. The Vegas pivot ended up getting crunched headfirst into the boards.
The 23-year-old is in stable condition and has been sent for further diagnostics and exams, the Golden Knights announced.
Vegas head coach Peter DeBoer later said Howden had full movement and the club will know more Friday.
The forward has collected nine goals and 11 assists in 47 games this season.
