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.

And the NY Daily News completely botched the story.

He was in some discomfort and drove himself to the hospital. Certainly not a cardiac arrest as was originally reported.
