After a scary incident Saturday night, Buffalo Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeanneret is doing well and resting at Buffalo General Medical Center, the team announced in a statement.

"Sabres broadcaster Rick Jeanneret, who was hospitalized at Buffalo General Medical Center last night, is resting and doing well," the statement read. "On behalf of Rick and his family, we'd like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Rick looks forward to being back in the booth after the break."

Jeanneret was taken away from KeyBank Center in a stretcher during the third period of Saturday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks. He was feeling light-headed and stopped talking during the broadcast.

The 76-year-old also texted The Athletic's John Vogl Sunday morning to update his status.

Jeanneret has been with the Sabres since 1971 and was honored by the Hockey Hall of Fame with the Foster Hewitt Award for outstanding broadcasting in 2012.

Washington Capitals netminder Pheonix Copley may have given himself the greatest gift this holiday season with his performance Saturday night in Ottawa.

The 26-year-old backup made 35 saves versus the Senators in a 4-0 win for the first shutout of his career. The blank sheet is a nice milestone on its own but the story within the story is an all-timer.

Copley's shutout came in the Capitals' final game before the Christmas break, which normally wouldn't hold much significance until you consider he hails from North Pole, Alaska.

Entering the contest, Copley owned a 7-3-1 record and a .894 save percentage.

Merry Christmas, indeed.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Tyler Ennis suffered a broken ankle during Saturday's game against the New York Rangers, head coach Mike Babcock said following the contest, according to Terry Koshan of the Toronto Sun.

Ennis, 29, left during the second period and did not return after taking a wrist shot to the ankle and skating off the ice under his own power. The Maple Leafs went on to win the contest 5-3.

Babcock didn't indicate exactly how long Ennis will be sidelined but confirmed he'll be "out for a while."

The Leafs and Ennis agreed in July on a one-year contract worth $650,000. In his first season with Toronto, the diminutive forward has notched seven goals and four assists, averaging over 10 minutes of ice time in his 32 games played prior to Saturday.
