The Boston Bruins updated Malcolm Subban’s condition a day after the goaltending prospect was hospitalized after being struck in the throat with a puck.
“Malcolm Subban was struck in the throat with a puck Saturday night during pregame warmups. He was transported to Maine Medical Center and was diagnosed with a fractured larynx. He stayed overnight at Maine Medical Center and was transported to Mass General Hospital on Sunday for further evaluation. He is in stable condition and will be sidelined indefinitely. The team will provide additional details when they become available.”
Awful news, although at least he’s in stable condition.
PHT will stay tuned for further updates regarding the 22-year-old.

A little context makes that a little sad, too.
The bottle hanging on the left of the picture Subban tweeted is enteral feeding formula, aka he's not being allowed to swallow. Poor kid.

P.K. Subban seems confident his brother will bounce back.
