Vegas Golden Knights center Brett Howden left the ice on a stretcher Thursday after getting hit awkwardly by Nashville Predators winger Filip Forsberg.

The 23-year-old is in stable condition and has been sent for further diagnostics and exams, the Golden Knights announced.

Howden entered Thursday with nine goals and 11 assists in 46 games this season.
