In the second period of last night's game, which the USA won 2–1, Cole Hutson fell to the ice after being hit in the back of the head by a shot from Frölunda defender Gian Meier.
"It was terrible to see," says teammate Cole Eiserman, according to Aftonbladet.
The 19-year-old was left lying on the ice before being taken out on a stretcher and transported to the hospital.
The United States Ice Hockey Association later issued a statement regarding Hutson's condition:
"Hutson has been released from the hospital and is back with the team. It's 'day-by-day'," the association writes about Hutson's injury.
