Canucks defenseman Larsen taken off ice on stretcher
NEWARK, N.J. — Vancouver Canucks defenseman Philip Larsen was taken off the ice on a stretcher after being checked in the face by New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall on Tuesday night.
The Canucks said Larsen was awake and responsive when he left the ice. He was taken to a hospital for further evaluation.
Larsen fell on his back in the second period after taking a very hard hit from Hall’s shoulder behind the net and did not seem to move.
