Swedish defender “Tampa Bay Lightning » Victor Hedman said it hurt him to see the Russian defender’s suffering Mikhail Sergachev seriously injured in New York.
Tampa lost to the Rangers in New York with a score of 1:3.
In the second period, Sergachev tried to make a powerful move against Canadian Alexis Lafrenière on the boards, but unsuccessfully fell on his left leg. Sergachev was unable to leave the scene on his own, requiring a stretcher. The Russian left the ice in tears, next to him was Russian forward from Tampa Nikita Kucherov. Before the game in New York, Sergachev missed 17 games. The Russian was injured in mid-December during a game against the St. Louis Blues when a puck hit the hockey player’s left leg.
– It’s very difficult. Sergi played his first match after a long break, it’s difficult to see him suffering so much. You sympathize and just pray for the best, but obviously things aren’t looking great,” Hedman said, as quoted by the NHL’s official website.
