Maple Leafs’ Chris Tanev Stretchered Off in Return From Concussion, Taken to Hospital

Team officials reported he was moving during hospital evaluation.

Overview

  • The defenseman was injured at 8:23 of the third period after a collision with Flyers forward Matvei Michkov.
  • Medical staff immobilized Tanev with his head braced, and he gave a thumbs-up as he was wheeled off the ice.
  • Michkov received a two-minute minor for interference, and Flyers voices described the play as an unfortunate sequence rather than foul play.
  • Coach Craig Berube said Tanev was undergoing tests in Philadelphia and was moving, with his travel plans not yet determined.
  • The incident came in Tanev’s first game back from an Oct. 21 concussion; he recorded an assist as Toronto beat Philadelphia 5-2.
