Hurricanes' Eddie Lack Hospitalized After Collision with Andreas Athanasiou

Carolina Hurricanes goalie Eddie Lack was hospitalized after Andreas Athanasiou collided with him while scoring a game-winning goal to hand the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 overtime victory Monday night.

NHL.com relayed video of the collision, which resulted in Lack being stretchered off the ice:

"Eddie Lack is currently undergoing tests at UNC REX Hospital," the team said in a statement on Twitter. "He does have full feeling in his extremities. The Hurricanes will provide additional information about his condition when it is available."

Lack later sent a tweet updating fans on his condition:

"He obviously took a shot to the head at the end of the play, and that's where the problem lies," Hurricanes head coach Bob Peters said, according to ESPN.com news services.

Before he was injured Monday, Lack dealt with two concussions that forced him to miss all of December and January.

"He's had a tough season, with injuries and all the stuff that's gone on for him," Hurricanes center Jordan Staal said, per ESPN.com news services.

"Hopefully he recovers from this quick, whatever it is, and he's back on the ice very soon. He made a lot of big plays for us tonight."
