Scary moment here in D.C. during the first period of Game 1 between the Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning, as Simon Gagne was checked by Scott Hannan and then tumbles on his head at 8:22.
Lightning GM Steve Yzerman said between the first and second period that Gagne was alert and talking in the locker room, under the evaluation of doctors and that no concussion diagnosis had been made.
Gagne has a history of concussions, of course; there was plenty of concern from his teammates after the injury.
