Hurricanes' Lack diagnosed with neck strain: 'Everything looks alright'
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Eddie Lack took to Twitter late Monday night to share some good news after a scary scene on the ice hours earlier.
Lack was stretchered off the ice after a collision with Detroit's Andreas Athanasiou and was taken to hospital for tests.
Fortunately, it wasn't a long stay.

The Hurricanes later announced Lacks' scans were negative and he's been diagnosed with a neck strain.
The Hurricanes thank all of the Caniacs and fans from around the league who sent thoughts and prayers in Eddie's direction last night.

The incident occurred in overtime on a play in which Athanasiou scored the game-winning goal.
