As far as we can tell, Ryan Dzingel is OK after taking an errant shot to the head from Ottawa Senators teammate Erik Karlsson on Thursday.
Update: Dzingel was eventually able to make it back onto the ice for Ottawa. At the moment, it sounds like he might shake this off.
The Boston Bruins currently lead the Senators 1-0 through the first period thanks to a goal by returning forward David Pastrnak:
Gruesome update: So, uh, yikes:
Boucher says the Doctors stitched and restitched, and "reconstructed" Dzingel's ear.
