Zach Werenski stays down a long time after getting drilled by Jacob Middleton (Video)

Zach Werenski of the Columbus Blue Jackets looked to be in rough shape in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Late in the first period, Werenski came over the blueline and tried to get off a wrister. It would go off the stick of Jacob Middleton and wide, while Middleton sets up for a big hit. He landed it hard and clean, and the effect was obvious. Werenski stayed down a long time before eventually getting helped off the ice. No word yet on exactly what happened, but it looks like he may have gotten the wind knocked out of him.
