Edmonton, AB (SportsNetwork.com) – The Edmonton Oilers revealed that forward Matt Fraser suffered a concussion as a result of a hit by Leafs forward Nazem Kadri.<\/p>\n
“He was concussed, and we’re going to follow protocol. We’re going to re- evaluate him tomorrow, but I can say that he’s doing well,” noted Oilers interim head coach Todd Nelson following practice on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Fraser and Kadri made contact just after the midway point of the third period in Edmonton’s 4-1 victory over Toronto on Monday night at Rexall Place. Kadri was hit with a minor for an illegal check to the head and faces a hearing with the NHL’s department of player safety on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“It was a play where he was reaching down a bit, and we’ve seen those hits before where a player comes in and finishes his check and sometimes the opposing player is bending over trying to reach a puck and those things happen,” Nelson added.<\/p>\n
Fraser has played 52 combined games between the Bruins and Oilers this season, totaling six goals and four assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
