NHL Defensemen Shares Gruesome Details After Fracturing His Skull Due to a Slapshot to The Head
BY SKY
In an interview with The Athletic's Tarik El-Bashir, Carlson described the gruesome details of his injury, which included a small skull fracture and a severed temporal artery. He compared the experience to being struck by lightning and said that it was a one-in-a-million occurrence.
"I just got struck by lightning," Carlson said. "That's the only way to describe it."
"There's always close calls. There's always a lot of, 'Oh man, that could have hurt or that could have been bad' times. This was bad. It's a one-in-a-million thing — and it happened to me."
He went on to add, "It was bleeding so much. The only way I could describe it is, just survival."
