Per ESPN's live coverage of the game, Kozari was knocked unconscious by the blow and subsequent fall. 'It was bad,' Penguins captain Sidney Crosby said postgame. 'Didn't look good. ... You just try to regroup as fast as you can.'
After being placed on a stretcher and wheel off the ice, Kozari gave a thumbs up to the crowd and grabbed the hand of a linesman. The NHL later confirmed Kozari was conscious, alert, had all extremities functioning, and was expected to make a full recovery.
