Canucks' Jack Rathbone stretchered off the ice after dirty hit
Jack Rathbone left tonight’s Abbotsford Canucks game on a stretcher.
The 22-year-old defenceman was hit from behind by Colton Sceviour in the third period in Bakersfield, California. The hit caused Rathbone to crash into the glass, and he immediately crumpled to the ice.
Rathbone laid on the ice for 12 minutes before he was removed from the ice surface on a stretcher, according to a report from Canucks prospects expert Cody Severtson. Medical staff from both the Canucks and Bakersfield Condors helped Rathbone, Severtson adds.
Sceviour was given a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct.
