Nico Sturm Placed on Injured Reserve After Scary Head Injury

Minnesota Wild forward Nico Sturm has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a scary head injury in Monday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Sturm, 31, was hit in the head by a puck and was subsequently taken to a local hospital by ambulance. Reports indicate he was stable and drinking water. He will not travel with the team for Tuesday's game in Winnipeg. The incident drew comparisons to Brock Faber's skull fracture earlier in the season.
