News Report:
Linesman Andy McElman was hit by a puck along the boards in the third period. He slumped over the boards in front of the Washington bench for several minutes, then left the game. According to an NHL official, McElman suffered a broken nose. The other three officials completed the game.
The game was Capitals and Panthers.
I heard on a sports talk show that McElman was five hours in surgery and hopes to be back by the playoffs.
