Sens goalie Anderson stretchered off in overtime (Update: It’s a stiff neck)

Craig Anderson immobilized

Ottawa Senators goalie Craig Anderson was stretchered off the ice during overtime of their game against the Dallas Stars.

Anderson collided with Stars rookie forward Valeri Nichushkin with 3:16 left in the extra period. Nichushkin’s thigh appeared to crash into Anderson’s face, knocking his head back awkwardly. Anderson laid on the ice awake and in pain, but motionless.

Senators trainers immobilized Anderson and had him taken off the ice on a stretcher. He gave a thumbs up to the Canadian Tire Centre crowd as he was wheeled off the ice.

UPDATE (4:01 p.m. ET): Shawn McKenzie of Sportsnet has a very encouraging update.

UPDATE (4:28 p.m. ET): Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun has the injury:
