Niagara IceDogs goaltender Tucker Tynan has undergone successful surgery after suffering a deep laceration to his leg during a game against the London Knights in the OHL Thursday night.

The game ended up getting cancelled as medical staff attended to Tynan in order to get him safely transported to hospital.

The cut happened after a collision with a Knights player. The IceDogs say Tynan is now on the road to recovery.

Tynan left a lot of blood on the ice after being evacuated on a stretcher. Paramedics and IceDogs medical staff provided first aid for about 10 minutes before his emergency evacuation. It's great to hear that he is doing ok and expected to make a full recovery. A 48 second video of the incident can be viewed below. Warning: this video is graphic and contains quite a bit of blood.
