Penguins rookie John Ludvig had a scary moment in his NHL debut against the Stars on Tuesday.
In the second period, the 23-year-old defenseman laid a massive hit on Dallas forward Radek Faksa. It was a hard, clean hit, but it was Ludvig who got the worst of the collision. Ludvig laid motionless on the ice before he was able to helped to his feet and led off the ice by his teammates. He had blood around his mouth as he was ushered to the dressing room.
He did not return to the game.
