With 10 minutes left in the Sabres game last night, Panthers forward Richard Zednik was cut in the neck by a skate of teammate Olli Jokinen. He was rushed to a Buffalo hospital to have immediate surgery on the wound. After 2 hours in the operating room, he is now stable and on the road to recovery..and hopefully playing again.

This type of injury is the second the Sabres have seen. Clint Malarchuk had a similar incident while playing goalie for the Sabres. Malarchuk's accident happened about 19 years ago, and I hope it will be another 19 years (or more) before it happens in the NHL again.
