When a player is injured and unable to continue play or go to the
bench, play shall not be stopped until the injured player’s team has secured
possession of the puck. If the player’s team is in possession of the puck at
the time of injury, play shall be stopped immediately, unless that team is
in a scoring position.
When it is obvious that a player has sustained a serious injury, an on-ice
official may stop play immediately.
They will claim he was out the dangerous area. Miami had the puck and a power play. And would stop the play if it rotated in his direction as he was defenseless.
