After Chris Collins got checked in Friday's game against HK SZ Olimpija, the Canadian was unconscious on the ice for several minutes. After the first aid in the arena and an immediate transport to the hospital of Ljubljana, Collins was still transferred to the LKH Villach in the night to Saturday. There, the 29-year-old is currently being treated as an inpatient.

Initial examinations have not confirmed the fears of a serious upper body injury for the time being, with a complete all-clear cannot be given in this connection yet. Further comprehensive medical checks are scheduled for Saturday and the coming days in order to obtain final clarity on the injury.

In accordance with the Gamebook, the clip that preceded Chris Collins' injury has been submitted to the International Player Safety Committee (PSC) for evaluation. After reviewing, the PSC has decided not to issue a supplementary penalty.
