Important update issued on referee who was taken to hospital
The Colorado Avalanche faced-off off against the Philadelphia Flyers a few nights ago, but very unfortunate play involving a referee quieted the arena.
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, during the game between the Colorado Avalanche and Philadelphia Flyers, Avs defenceman Josh Manson accidentally knocked into a referee causing a scary scene.
Manson was merely skating into a play in the offensive zone, and didn't see a referee on track to hit him. The referee, went down hard, and stayed down on the ice for several moments before being stretchered off.

Upon the replay, it appears as if Manson accidentally cross checked Mitch Dunning (referee) causing him to down immediately. Gauging by Dunning's reaction, you could tell the injury was extremely serious.
According to Hockey Latest, Daily Faceoff's insider Frank Seravalli has an important update on Mitch Dunning.
In a new post on X, Frank Seravalli confirmed that Mitch Dunning was released from the hospital and avoided any major injuries. He is now home dealing with the aftermath of the collision
This is great news after what looked to be an awful collision that ended in some type of long-term injury for Mitch Dunning.
Tyler Ball, Hockey Latest
As it stands, Dunning is currently on the mend from this horrific incident. Although he's at home resting, no one knows for sure as to when he'll be back on the ice.
Oilers Central would like to send Mitch Dunning all the best during his recovery.
