Detroit Red Wings forward Ben Street avoided a major scare Friday night, escaping serious injury after taking an errant skate to the side of his neck versus the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Street was released from the hospital Friday night and will return to Detroit on Saturday, reports Sportsnet's John Shannon.
The 29-year-old center played in the Colorado Avalanche organization last season, suiting up in seven NHL games, as well as 15 for the AHL's San Antonio Rampage.
