Video- Tuukka Rask Placed On IR With A Concussion

via NHL.com,

Tuukka Rask was placed on injured reserve by the Boston Bruins on Thursday

The goalie left Boston's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday because of a concussion. The injury came when he was elbowed in the head by Blue Jackets forward Emil Bemstrom, who was skating by the crease and was cross-checked into Rask by Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo.

"He's concussed. He got elbowed in the head," coach Bruce Cassidy said after the 3-0 loss.

Bemstrom said the contact was accidental.

"It's not my purpose for that at all," Bemstrom said. "I tried to come back and backcheck. I got a little cross-check in my side and that probably turned my skate a little bit. It wasn't on purpose, of course."

Watch the incident below.
