The Ottawa Senators have to feel good about a comeback in on Saturday, but their thoughts likely revolve around the health of top center Kyle Turris.
He got tangled up with a New York Islanders opponent during tonight’s eventual 3-2 OT win, and seriously, it did not look good.
You can see the replay above, which includes the often-scary sign of an opposing team player immediately motioning to get medical help.
The early news is good ... relatively speaking.

It’s already been a tough week for Senators centers, as Mika Zibanejad just returned to action following the upper-body injury he suffered thanks to Radko Gudas.
At least Erik Karlsson’s healthy and productive, though:
