Tuukka Rask Has To Be Helped Off the Ice After Filip Chytil Slams Into Him During Goal
Tuukka Rask had to be helped off the ice after being barreled over by Filip Chytil during his goal. Chytil showed great speed to the outside and scored a spectacular goal, but collided with Rask, who was not moving afterward. The commentators discuss whether it was a penalty and if McAvoy's contact forced Chytil into Rask. Rask was injured, with his left eyebrow opened up, and had to leave the game with 1:28 to go in the first period.
