One day after leaving the game against the Minnesota Wild with fans being scared, the Calgary Flames center Daymond Langkow returned to team, wearing back his No. 22 Flames jersey to prepare for the next game.
The 33-year-old spent Sunday night in a St. Paul hospital following the Flames’ 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild, undergoing tests after taking a shot off the back of his neck. He seems all right now, but when he was taken off the ice on a stretcher, many were scared.
“I think everyone was just scared,” said forward David Moss, who watched as Langkow was strapped to a backboard and wheeled off the ice. “Not knowing what was going on, not seeing him move was a scary moment.”
The incident happened at 5:20 of the second period when Langkow was checked in front of the Minnesota net by Wild defenseman Greg Zanon. Unfortunately, his teammate defenseman Ian White fired a point shot while Langkow was heading down while falling forward, and the shot hit Langkow at the base of the neck in between his shoulder blades. Afterwards, the center lay still there on the ice for about ten minutes before trainers came to carry him off. All felt a great relief when they got to know that Langkow actually had feeling in all his extremities all along.

New Jersey Devils set to name new head coach
On scheduled 1:30 p.m. conference, the Devils will make "a major announcement" later Monday and name their new head coach.
Since a conference call is being held, one can assume that John MacLean, who is here at the Prudential Center for the beginning of rookie camp, is not the man being hired.
Jacques Lemaire is still believed to be the leading candidate, but no formal indication has been made. He did not consider wearing nfl jerseys.
Right now, the defensemen are practicing, and Scott Stevens, Jacques Laperriere and Tommy Abelin are running the drills. General manager Lou Lamoriello peeked his head in about 10 minutes ago, but then disappeared after the announcement of the conference call was handed down.
