Knuble and Shanahan collided, both went down. Shanahan looked knocked out and had some movement in legs.
Knuble was helped off the ice but looks ok.
update 4:13pm, TSN has more from the CP…
He moved his left leg slightly as medical personnel attended to him, and he appeared to also be bleeding from the mouth one day after extensive dental work. He lost a tooth Thursday night at Carolina after being struck by a puck.
Shanahan blinked his eyes and was talking to Rangers trainer Jim Ramsay as the stretcher rolled across the ice to the Zamboni entrance. Chants of “Shanny, Shanny,” trailed him during the ride. He was taken to St. Vincent’s Hospital for evaluation. First reports were encouraging.

It was a freak accident plain and simple.

I agree PH, Knuble was looking at the puck, Shanny felt something coming, but too late. He also hit his head on the ice too.

Shanahan was talking with the trainer as he was carted off the ice so it seems he will be OK, although it was a vicious collision.

On the first intermission of the Ottawa game, they said Shanahan is alert at the hospital and moving all extremeties, so it looks like he will be OK.

via the AP,
X-rays and a CT scan were taken on Shanahan at St. Vincent’s Hospital. All the tests were negative, but Shanahan was to be kept overnight for observation. The Rangers said he was awake, alert and moving all his extremities.
The right side of Knuble’s face was swollen, and the Flyers expressed concern he has broken bones around his eye. X-rays of his neck were negative and Knuble was allowed to accompany the team on the train back to Philadelphia. He was scheduled to be evaluated by a club physician Saturday night and then go for a CT scan on Sunday.
“There is a chance he may have broken something around there,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. “He seemed OK. He was a little woozy.”

They took x-rays of Avery’s brain and found nothing.
