REPORT - Health Update on Scott Wedgewood After a Scary Moment in Thursday's Game Left Him Stretchered off The Ice
On Thursday November seventeenth the hockey world held their breath as goaltender Scott Wedgewood was stretchered off the ice after enduring a awkward back injury that left him unable to move.
Wedgewood is one of the most humble human beings throughout the NHL and many shared their prayers towards the goaltender.
The last update the hockey world received from the Dallas Stars was that he was in stable condition and ''doing ok'', which was great, but many wondered if a injury still took place.
Thankfully the Stars have confirmed Wedgewood will be practicing with the team today and backing up goaltender Jake Oettinger in Dallas' matchup tonight.
Wedgewood commented on the fearful injury:
«At first, I was like �Ah, just spasming, it's a cramp and I'll roll over and get up,'» Wedgewood said. «As I tried to get up, nothing moved, nothing moved, laying down talking to [athletic trainer Dave Zeis].
«Then they start saying stretcher and wiggle your toes and can you feel my hand, and then you start thinking �OK, did I do something more?' Then they call a stretcher and that almost put a little more fear in you not knowing.»
«They were like �You could either wake up and feel great, or wake up and feel like you're 100 years old,'» Wedgewood said. «I got out of bed, felt good.»
