Erixon injured
08.02.2010 / 08:05 p.m. (ET)

Flames top defense prospect Tim Erixon got knocked out of the game on a hard hit into the end boards by Finland's Iiro Pakarainen just 14 seconds into the third period.

The players were chasing a dump-in and Pakarainen, finishing his hit, drove Erixon into the end boards. Erixon stayed down for a minute or two, then looked wobbly as he was helped off the ice.

More information if it becomes available.

Tim Erixon, who got run into the end boards in the third period of last night's game against Finland, will not play the rest of the camp. A Team Sweden official told NHL.com that Erixon lost conscious for a few moments on the ice and was still dizzy about two hours later. He also suffered a cut to his chin and has swelling around his right eye.

Doctors said Erixon could maybe play by the end of the camp, and the Calgary Flames' first-round pick reported feeling better today, but for precautionary reasons, he won't be playing the rest of the way here in Lake Placid.

Team USA is on the ice. I'll have more after their practice.
