Brown was given a penalty for boarding on the play, while Kaleta did not return and was taken to a local hospital for observation, where he remained overnight.’

‘Pat Kaleta was hit from behind by Mike Brown and went to the hospital. The winger spent the night in the hospital and was released early today.’
