Video: Hab appears seriously injured after failed attempt at a check.

Alexei Emelin of the Montreal Canadiens left the game and did not return after he appeared to be seriously injured as a result of crashing into the boards. During the very first minute of the game Emelin attempted a check on the Senator's Mark Stone and appears to lose his balance. The result was Emelin falling awkwardly and crashing into the boards at a very painful looking angle. What looked fairly harmless when watching in real time, looks far worse when one sees the angle at which his arm bends after colliding with the boards. Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night of Canada describes the incident in this video courtesy of the NHL.
