NHL.com schrieb:Atlanta goaltender Ondrej Pavelec collapsed on the ice and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher just 2:35 into the Thrashers' season-opener against Washington on Friday night.
With play stopped after a whistle in the Washington zone and just 2:35 gone in the game, Pavelec collapsed onto his back a few feet in front of the Atlanta net and did not move. Medical personnel from both teams raced onto the ice, and after several minutes he was taken off on a stretcher.
The Thrashers said Pavelec lost consciousness and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but that no other details were available.
Chris Mason replaced Pavelec in goal for the Thrashers when the game resumed after a delay of nearly 20 minutes. He allowed the game's first goal, by Brooks Laich, less than a minute after entering the game.
