Former first overall pick gets destroyed by Stefan Noesen, forced to leave game

Juraj Slafkovsky Is a young forward that hasn't lived up to the hype of going first overall in the National Hockey League Entry Draft, between injuries and lack of production, so far he hasn't worked out in the League and adding another injury to the list won't help things.

Tonight, the Montreal Canadiens visited the Carolina Hurricanes and late in the third period, Slafkovsky got destroyed by Hurricanes forward Stefan Noesen; take a look.

Noesen appeared to catch Slafkovsky high and there was no call on the play, now. There definitely needed to be a call on the play, that's the kind of hit the NHL says they want to get rid of .

Slafkovsky left the game and did not return, let's hope for his sake, the injury isn't as bad as it looked.
