Ref gets run over by Clarkson, has to be helped off the ice. (VIDEO)

It was a rough night for NHL official Dean Morton tonight after he got run over by Toronto Maple Leaf David Clarkson. Morton was injured while trying to avoid contact with two players along side the boards, but as David Clarkson tried to duck under him, Morton came back down, and the result was him being hit low by Clarkson. The result of the hit was Morton going end over end before landing square on his back in the ice, and understandably with no equipment to protect him, Morton was in quite a bit of pain.
