“I haven’t seen him yet but and like I’ve been saying a lot, that’s probably by best friend on this team. Outside of hockey this is way bigger. He’s got two unbelievable daughters, unbelievable wife and you just wish the very best for him. You have so much to live for in this life with your family. Hopefully everything is okay with him. We’re very blessed to have an unbelievable medical staff here that takes care of their players very well and knows what to do. Obviously one of my best friends. Brothers, really. So hopefully he’s okay.”
