Ottawa Senators forward Scott Sabourin appears to be in good spirits after a scary moment in last night's game against the Boston Bruins.

During play, it appeared Sabourin attempted to make a hit on Backes, when their helmets collided. Sabourin then appeared to be unconscious as he fell to the ice.

Sabourin had to be stretchered off the ice early in the first period after colliding with Bruins' player David Backes. Sabourin gave a thumbs up to the crown as he left the ice, before being taken to hospital for evaluation.

This morning Sabourin posted an update to his Instagram sporting a few cuts, a black eye, and a chipped tooth. He wrote "Thanks for all the well wishes. Hope to be back out on the ice in the near future."

Sabourin's injury was a primary focus for Senators Head Coach DJ Smith following the team's 5-2 loss to the Bruins.
