Logan Cooley's skate just slashed an officials hand/wrist here and we have an emergency.

My heart is in my stomach.

The players are being sent to the room.

I am just stunned. Have never had a feeling like that at a hockey game. It happened right in front of me here and I I've never in my life seen blood come like that. Can't shake it. Just praying he's OK.

The official was removed from the arena via stretcher to an awaiting ambulance. There is no update on his condition at this time.
