«Scary situation. He's doing better, though, than -- initially when you see something like that, someone stretchered off, you're thinking the worst-case situations," Capitals coach Spencer Carbery said after the game. "He's doing better. He walked out of the building with his family tonight. Didn't go to the hospital. That was very, very positive, thinking that other situations [could've happened]. That's good. Obviously, he's going to be out, but good that he was able to walk out of the building with his family. That was good.
"And also, too, I want to just quickly say from a medical staff standpoint, not only from 'Serbs' (head athletic trainer Jason Serbus) and the on-ice, but the off-ice, how quickly that happened and they were able to get out there, Dr. Liz (Elizabeth Delasobera). They were just so, it looked like, dialed in with everything that was going on. It was really impressive to see that and for help to be there so quickly for 'Jens' in that situation.»
