Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban was removed from the ice on a stretcher Thursday at home versus the Buffalo Sabres after a freak head-first collision with teammate Alexei Emelin.
Subban stumbled to his knees in pursuit along the boards and ended up jamming his head, causing an awkward twisting motion with his neck from the contact with Emelin.
He was able to shake off his gloves and grab at his head immediately after the incident, but the training staff quickly called for reinforcements once they arrived at the fallen defender.
He was able to give thumbs up while he exited the ice.
Subban hasn't missed a game due to injury in his career.

The legend continues to grow.
With a beautiful two-on-one finish on a transition rush with Jonathan Huberdeau on Thursday night versus the Ottawa Senators, Jaromir Jagr secured the 20th 50-point season of his incredible career.
Jagr is the fifth player to hit 50 points 20 times, joining Ron Francis, Ray Bourque, Mark Messier, and Gordie Howe, according to George Richards of the Miami Herald.

Dylan Larkin is on the path to greatness.
The 19-year-old collected his 20th goal of the season against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday, making him the first Detroit Red Wings rookie to reach the milestone since Henrik Zetterberg achieved the feat during the 2002-03 campaign.
Larkin should exceed Zetterberg's rookie output of 22 goals and 44 points, baring injury or a severe downturn in production.
The goal also helped to snap Larkin's seven-game goalless and pointless skid. Despite the drought, he remains tied for second in rookie goals with Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel.
