Keaton Middleton was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play.
Vasily Podkolzin left the Abbotsford Canucks’ game against the Colorado Eagles with just over five minutes to go after landing hard on the ice following a hit from Keaton Middleton.According to Eagles play-by-play broadcaster Kevin McGlue, Podkolzin was awake and aware as he was taken off the ice. Middleton was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct on the play.
The 22-year-old was playing in his sixth game with the club in what has been an excellent season for the prospect. Podkolzin assisted on Arshdeep Bains’ power-play goal at 9:57 that gave the Canucks a 2-1 advantage. Abbotsford won the contest 5-2. Very scary situation. Middleton hit Podkolzin and he landed very awkwardly. Stretcher on the ice, it looked like Podkolzin was convulsing. YikesDrafted 10th overall by the Canucks in 2019, Podkolzin made his NHL debut with the club during the 2021-22 season. He had a respectable 14 goals and 26 points in 79 games before registering a pair of points with Abbotsford during the 2022 playoffs.
After not making Vancouver out of training camp, Podkolzin was sent back to Abbotsford, where he has played some of his best pro hockey to date.
