A Sabres trainer jumped on the ice to apply a towel across the player’s neck, and Zednik was immediately escorted to the Panthers’ dressing room. Players and coaches on both benches looked on in shock, and a silent hush fell over the crowd at HSBC Arena. The game was delayed for more than 15 minutes as crews scraped the blood from the ice.’
