Some tough-to-watch scenes after Detroit prospect can't stay on his feet following hit (w/)

Just a couple of days after Frolunda player Max Friberg received a nasty gash to the back of his leg that required surgery, another player with the SHL team has been involved in some tough-to-watch scenes on the ice. Theodor Niederbach, a second-round pick (51st overall) of the Detroit Red Wings in 2020, took a hard hit into the boards and fell awkwardly to the ice.

The replay below initially misses the hit, but the camera pans to Niederbach as he's trying to get back to his feet. He manages to make it to his skates only to fall back to the ice again. Teammates and an official would come over to help him back to the bench and he would immediately head to the back. Then we see the hit. Not only did Niederbach get rocked, but he also falls to the ice hard, which may have been a factor in the aftermath.

Here's a better look at just the hit:

As mentioned, the Friberg incident earlier this week was also a tough one to watch. You can read more about that here.
