forward Jordan Eberle said he was concerned to hear that Colorado Avalanche forward Andrew Cogliano sustained a fractured neck in a collision with Eberle against the wall in Game 6 on Friday night.
"The puck is coming up the wall and I just went in to try and make a play and it's tough when the puck is moving that fast in games that fast, especially in a playoff game," Eberle said on Sunday ahead of Game 7. "When the play ends up in an injury it's always unfortunate. I was happy to see him back in the third and obviously you hear he's hurt the next day, it's tough.
Eberle and Cogliano were teammates during Eberle's rookie season with the Edmonton Oilers in 2010-11. Eberle said he reached out to Cogliano after hearing the news of the injury on Saturday. Eberle was not disciplined by the NHL for the hit against Cogliano, which has angered the Avalanche after defenseman Cale Makar was suspended a game for a hit on Jared McCann in Game 4 that has sidelined McCann for the rest of the series. McCann won't play tonight in Game 7., "Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said on Sunday. "… There's more than one type of suspension hit. There's the predatory hit where the guy goes after someone from distance and hits him dirty.
