Rouyn-Noranda Huskies defenceman Jeremy Lauzon left Friday night’s second-round playoff game against the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada after being cut in the neck by a skate.
The 18-year-old suffered the injury after a collision behind the Huskies net during the first period. Lauzon was rushed to hospital and the team later announced that he is in stable condition.
