Scary Moment for Patrick Kane in Last Night's Game

What was objectively one of the most historic events to happen at the United Center, last night, was almost marred by a terrifying fall.
Just as Ovi scored his monumental 800th goal, Patrick Kane came flying into the end zone with that all-too-familiar mega speed. Unfortunately, there was a mass pile-up right around the net, as his teammates had been trying to prevent the inevitable. Jack Johnson tripped over Mrazek's stick, and as he was falling down, Kane appeared to either jump over Johnson himself, to avoid injuring his teammate. Or, he might have just tripped. Either way, the Chicago superstar went careening into the boards, head-first.
Miraculously, he was able to get up and skate away, seemingly unscathed; though I'm sure there was a team of medical professionals waiting to check him out after the game. Of course, they had to wait until after he paid his respects to Alexander Ovechkin.
At this time, there have been no reports of an injury.
So far this season, Kane has 21 points in 27 games by way of 4 goals and 17 assists, including one last night.
