During a recent NHL game in Philadelphia, referee Mitch Dunning was injured after colliding with Colorado Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson. The incident occurred early in the first period, leading to Dunning being taken off the ice on a stretcher and transported to a hospital for evaluation.

Despite the severity of the situation, Dunning was seen moving his feet and right hand when Manson approached him. The game was momentarily halted as medical personnel provided assistance before continuing with a reduced officiating crew.
