Nugent-Hopkins looked on in shock as the superstar center struggled with the impact.

Fortunately, McDavid was able to recover and get back to playing after a few minutes of discomfort. This event highlights the potential hazards that come with the sport, and serves as a cautionary reminder of the importance of being vigilant during games and practices.
