Cole Hudson leaves game on stretcher


United States defenseman Cole Hutson was stretchered off the ice during the second period of Saturday's contest against Switzerland after taking a puck to the neck area.

Hutson was down for several minutes and moving his extremities before medics helped him off the ice.

Hutson was later discharged from the hospital and rejoined his teammates at the rink, Team USA head coach Bob Motzko told NHL Network's Jon Morosi. His status for the remainder of the tournament will be evaluated Sunday.
