Columbus Blue Jackets forward Nick Foligno left Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Kings on a stretcher after colliding with linesman Shane Heyer along the boards.
The game was delayed for several minutes while trainers attended to Foligno.
Nick Foligno is alert and speaking with the #LAKings medical staff. He will remain at STAPLES Center for evaluation. #CBJ
