Winnipeg Jets fans were horrified after seeing Vlad Namestnikov down on the ice after being hit by a flying puck in today's playoff match against the Colorado Avalanche. Now, we have an update on the player's condition.

The Winnipeg Jets attempted to tie their series today against the Colorado Avalanche. However, the game had to pause momentarily after their center Vlad Namestnikov was hit by a slapshot in the head form Nate Schmidt, resulting in his collapse onto the ice.





As the player was assisted off the ice, the entire crowd cheered him on during his skate to the stretcher.



After the game ended with Colorado victorious 5-1, Jets head coach Rick Bowness gave Winnipeg fans an update on Namestnikov's status. Bowness stated that the player was brought to the hospital for treatment.
