Anaheim Ducks provide update on Urho Vaakanainen after he was removed from game on a stretcher

Friday night in Anaheim, Urho Vaakanainen was seriously injured. The young defenseman fell hard into the end boards striking his head and neck hard. Vaakanainen was placed in a neck brace and removed from the ice before being transported to a local medical facility.

Friday night the Ducks provided an update on their official Twitter account.

According to the Ducks, Vaakanainen was released from the hospital Friday night. The team finally provided an additional update today.

Vaakanainen being released from hospital is a positive sign and hopefully he's at home resting comfortably. It would appear Vaakanainen likely suffered a concussion, which you never want to see.
