James Wisniewski update.
After tests tonight at UCI Medical Center in Orange County, Ducks defenseman James Wisniewski has been diagnosed with a lung contusion, a team spokesman said. He will remain overnight at the hospital as a precautionary measure and is doing well.
With 6:11 left in the seond period, Wisniewski was taken off the ice in a stretcher after being struck in the chest by a Pavel Datsyuk shot, then by an elbow to the face from Tomas Holmstrom. Wisniewski lost very little blood on the sequence, but appeared to be gasping for air as he left.
