Bloody Hit Marks NHL's First TKO of the year (VIDEO)

In a matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Colorado Avalanche, a contentious high hit occurred in the second period, sparking concerns of a possible suspension. Here's the condensed version:

The Hit

During the game, Wild defenseman Daemon Hunt chased the puck behind his own net, only to collide with Avalanche forward Tanner Kero, who used his elbow in the collision. The result was severe.

Hunt remained down, bloodied and disoriented, as trainers rushed to his aid.
