Raleigh, N.C. • Andreas Athanasiou crashed into Eddie Lack as he scored in overtime Monday night, giving the Detroit Red Wings a 4-3 victory over Carolina on a play that left the Hurricanes goalie with a frightening injury.

Lack remained down for several minutes before he was taken off on a stretcher. Lack flashed a thumbs-up sign as he was wheeled away.

Team spokesman Mike Sundheim said Lack was moving his arms and legs after he was taken off the ice. Lack said via Twitter that he would be discharged from the hospital overnight and that "everything looks alright."

An official review determined that the puck was in the net before Athanasiou made contact with Lack.

Lack finished with 23 saves for Carolina.
