From what I understand initial assessments on Gaudreau points to him being fine however we will know more on #Flames game day tomorrow. Gaudreau was forced to leave last night's game by #NHL spotters following a hit from McAvoy in the 3rd

There was a cloud hanging over Wednesday’s Calgary Flames win over the Boston Bruins, as Johnny Gaudreau left the game after a hit from Charlie McAvoy. But a few updates about his condition have started to trickle through the media, and they’re positive.
We’ll obviously know more at Friday’s morning skate, but this is definitely good news for the Flames given Gaudreau’s importance to their offense.
As confirmed by FlamesNation, McAvoy will not face any supplemental discipline for the incident.
