The Calgary Flames announced defenseman Rasmus Andersson is day-to-day after he was struck by a vehicle Wednesday in Detroit.
Andersson was riding a scooter to dinner when the incident occurred. He was taken to a local hospital and underwent a series of tests before being released. He will remain with the team.
"He's doing well and is in good spirits," general manager Brad Treliving said, according to Sportsnet's Eric Francis. "He's very lucky - it certainly could have been a lot worse. He's a little rattled. ... He won't play tonight and then we'll see. No injuries we are overly concerned about, but we will see."
The Flames play the Red Wings on Thursday night in the third leg of a five-game road trip.
Andersson is the Flames' top right-side defenseman. The 26-year-old has registered 34 points in 51 games this season while leading the club with 24:41 of ice time per contest.
