Amerks Call Up Expected, Booth Taken Down Again by Hit

March 26, 2010 - By

David Booth appears to have a target on his head this season.  On Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens the Panthers forward David Booth was hit by Jaroslav Spacek and knocked to the ice.  Booth layed on the ice for a bit and was then helped off by the trainer and a teammate.  As a precaution he was taken to a local hospital in Montreal.

Booth had missed 45 games after a hit by Mike Richards on October 24th early in the season.  The absence of Booth from the lineup for over half the season was probably one of the primary reasons for the poor season by the Cats.

Radek Dvorak left the game in the second period with an “upper body injury” and did not return to the game.

David Booth had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher after Mike Richards delivered a nasty hit to the head.

The next game for the Florida Panthers is on Wednesday night.   We could see Kenndal McArdle and Shawn Matthias or Michal Repik called up.

The Panthers also need to make a decision on Dmitry Kulikov by Wednesday.

10:11pm Update from George Richards:

David Booth will remain in Philly but the good news is he is awake and has movement in his extremities. Radek Dvorak may be out for a while with what looks like a left knee injury.

From George Richards:

Booth was hit in the Flyers zone and immediately hit the ice where he remained motionless for a few moments. A team doctor from the Flyers was escorted [...]Read More
