Subban was taken to a local hospital, but the good news is he is alert, and has normal movement in his arms and legs:
Let’s hope the star defenseman will be okay and get back on the ice soon. The Sabres sent along such sentiments in a classy tweet to the Canadiens:
UPDATE: Subban was released from the hospital.
