Shocking: NHL prospect helped off the ice after bone-crushing hit to the head

Prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov has been drawing attention from the Detroit Red Wings this season and he could very much get drafted in 2023. The 19-year-old left winger got hit really hard to the head by Roman Chemerikin during the last game he played. He got helped to the locker room after staying on the ice, unable to get up by himself.

Fans commented the situation :




It was a very vicious hit and despite all of this, Chemerikin only got a minor penalty.
