Hyman says he almost stopped playing after collision that got Forsberg stretchered off ice (video)

While there's been no official update at the time this was written, Ottawa Senators goalie Anton Forsberg will need every good luck charm he can find to avoid a long-term injury. He was stretchered off the ice after a collision with Edmonton Oilers forward Zach Hyman Saturday afternoon. The collision certainly wasn't a hard one, and Hyman could do nothing to avoid it, getting pushed in by Sens defenseman Travis Hamonic . The push caused him to pin Forsberg against the post and go backward, bending his leg awkwardly in the process. Hyman commented on the incident following the game.

"You hear him go down, you hear him in pain. I can't do anything else, I can't do anything. I'm just stuck on him because there's a guy who is on top of me, pushing me in. I almost stopped playing there, because I locked eyes and he was in pain," Hyman said.

Ottawa's Cam Talbot is also currently on the sidelines, but isn't expected to return until Monday at the earliest. Forsberg is 11-11-2 with a 3.26 goals-against average, .902 save percentage and two shutouts in 28 games (25 starts) this season for Ottawa.
