Konstantin Komarek got Martin Lundberg’s skate over his left wrist.
The Luleå player then urgently went to the dressing room and later it was confirmed that a tendon in his hand had severed.
– He will be restored, but he will be gone for a while to come, says Thomas “Bulan” Berglund in C More.
Barely halfway into the second period between Luleå and Växjö, the home team’s Konstantin Komarek took a home job when the visitors countered.
The Austrian ended up getting sent off when he tore down Martin Lundberg in the middle zone.
Lundberg’s skate then hit Komarek’s wrist.
“It was scary”
The Luleå player went full speed into the booth, got a towel over his wrist and hurried out into the dressing room closely followed by a team doctor.
– It was scary. Had a towel over my wrist and was in a big hurry to get out here, says Staffan Kronwall in C More.
Konstantin Komarek is not taken to hospital, but is stitched up on the spot in the arena.
– A tendon has broken in his hand, so he is gone. He will be restored, but he will be gone for a while to come, says Thomas “Bulan” Berglund in C More.
The match is in progress!
