It appears that the primary point of contact wad the chest, but either Middleton's shoulder of helmet appears to catch Werenski on the chin. Werenski was down on the ice for a couple minutes before being assisted off by teammates.
Middleton was not given a penalty on the play and Werenski is yet to return to the game. It is understood he is currently in concussion protocol.
