Friday night in Anaheim, former Boston Bruins first-round pick Urho Vaakanainen was seriously injured. The young defenseman fell hard into the end boards striking his head and neck area. Vaakanainen was eventually placed in a neck brace and removed from the ice on a stretcher before being transported to a local medical facility.
Vaakanainen being released from the hospital is a positive sign, and hopefully, he's at home resting comfortably.
