via NHL.com,
Vancouver forward Ryan Johnson was taken off the ice on a stretcher after crashing into the end boards early in the second period of the Canucks’ game against Detroit on Tuesday night.
With just under three minutes gone in the period, Johnson raced into the Detroit zone, swerved past defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom but lost his balance and crashed into the boards head-first.
Medical personnel put Johnson onto a stretcher and he was wheeled off the ice.
Upated word is Johnson has been taken to the hospital for observation and tests. He is alert and has movement.

That was a full speed crash into the boards. Brutal. Hope it isn’t serious.
