In the very first game of the NHL season, the crowd witnessed a heart-pounding moment when Tyson Barrie's rocket of a shot met Cody Glass's head on the powerplay.
Glass remained down on the ice for what felt like an eternity, leaving fans in nail-biting suspense. Mercifully, he eventually skated off under his own power.
As of now, Glass is in the process of a comprehensive evaluation, while well-wishers from across the league are hoping for his swift and full recovery.
