Cam Ward injured, taken to hospital

When it rains it pours, Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward left tonight’s game after being cut by a skate. He was helped off the ice and taken to the hospital.

Carolina goaltender Cam Ward was taken to the hospital after his leg was cut by a skate during the first period of the Hurricanes’ game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

Hurricanes spokesman Kyle Hanlin said Ward, who was helped off the ice by two trainers, went to the hospital for further evaluation.

Ward stretched to make a save while Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash skated through the crease at 7:35. It appeared Nash or a defenceman nicked Ward in the leg with a skate.
