Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=782) had emergency surgery after taking a skate to his neck in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at HSBC Arena.

''The surgery was successful and he's resting comfortably in the hospital,'' Panthers spokesman Brian Goldman said.

With the Sabres leading 4-3 midway through the third period, linemate Olli Jokinen (http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/player_bio.asp?player_id=1056) - who was being checked in the Sabres' zone - fell forward and his skate accidently flew up and caught the right side of Zednik's neck.

This is eerily similar to what happened to Buffalo Sabres goalie Clint Malarchuk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk) back in 1989. He almost died right there on the ice.

From what I've heard on the news today, Zednick will be ok.
