Tuesday night's game between the Anaheim Ducks and visiting St. Louis Blues was halted after Blues defenseman Jay Bouwmeester had a "cardiac episode" and collapsed on the bench during the first period.
It happened during a timeout with 7:50 remaining in the first. Bouwmeester slumped forward and fell to his knees, and his Blues teammates immediately called for the medics.
Medical staffers were on scene within seconds, and a stretcher was brought out for Bouwmeester, who was brought to a hospital. Players on both teams huddled around the Blues bench and were clearly concerned for his well-being.
According to Fox News, a defibrillator was used on Bouwmeester, but he was conscious and alert.
The game did not resume and was postponed at a later date.
