MONTREAL -- Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban appears to have avoided the worst.

Subban was taken from the ice on a stretcher after he collided with teammate Alexei Emelin in the third period of a 3-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Bell Centre on Thursday.

The Canadiens announced after the game that Subban sustained a neck injury and was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure. He was alert and able to move all of his extremities.

"I went to see him, he was with the doctors," Canadiens coach Michel Therrien said. "I had a good conversation with the doctor and he was able to move his extremities. So that's good news under the circumstances."
