TheNew York Rangers said forward Sean Avery suffered a lacerated spleen in Tuesday night's Stanley Cup playoff game.
The team announcement came as the New York Daily News reported Avery had been taken to a Manhattan hospital in cardiac arrest, citing unnamed sources.
The Rangers said Avery was admitted to St. Vincent's Medical Center following a CT scan and is expected to make a full recovery, but he will not play again in the playoffs.
Avery was unconscious and not breathing, the Daily News reported.
A source at St. Vincent's Medical Center said Avery, 28, arrived at about 3 a.m. Wednesday morning. Hours earlier, the Rangers lost 5-3 in the Stanley Cup playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Madison Square Garden. The Penguins took a 3-0 series lead with the win.
Man, that sucks. I don't like his style of play at all...but here's hoping he pulls through.
