In the second period of the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers game at the United Center, a scary moment came when Hawks forward Jujhar Khaira was on the receiving end of a monster hit from Jacob Trouba.

Trouba delivered the hit to the neck/face area on Khaira, who never saw it coming. Khaira lay motionless on the ice for several minutes while medical personnel tended to him and eventually took him off the ice on a stretcher. Khaira will presumably be transported to a local hospital for further medical attention.
You can view the hit here, but I warn you that it is hard to watch.
We’re hoping for all the best for Khaira and will update this story with details on his condition when they are made available.
