Beauvillier……jeez. What a brutal turnover.
Beauvillier just took a slapper high, head turned ... and went down immediately. Game was stopped. Looked like the puck either struck him in the back of the helmet or under the helmet, back of the head. Went to the #Preds bench. Believe he's still on the bench. #CBJ
