Medics had to go to the ice surface to help Kovář and took him off it on a stretcher. The 35-year-old native of Písek subsequently headed to the Liberec Regional Hospital, where he spent the night.
“Thank you for the messages full of support, it made me very happy. I spent the night in the Liberec hospital as a precaution, I’m bruised, I was out for a while, but I feel much better now. Thanks for your concern, see you soon at the stadium,” Kovář wrote on his Instagram on Saturday morning.
He calmed the fans down. For example, Czech biathlete and big supporter of Sparta Michal Krčmář responded to Kovář’s post. “Very good news this morning! Be back soon,” he said to Kovář.

“Kovy probably got it straight. They said they found the puck in his vest. His muscles will probably be very damaged and he will probably be immobile for some time and probably won’t move his head much. I know that if a person only gets the fact in the mask, then the next day he has a pain in the back of the neck, everything. Like when you don’t sleep well. It’s a pressure on the neck, on the muscles, on the head,” said Josef Kořenář immediately after the match, who replaced Kovář in the goal for the Tigers in the 34th minute with the score 3:2 and did not concede a goal, thus helping Sparta triumph 4:3 .
