Fedun shattered his right femur when Nystrom tried to negate an icing call by reaching for a puck. It appears Nystrom's stick blade got caught up in Fedun's skate blade.

Nystrom arrived with flowers, nervously knocked and spent 10 minutes alone with Fedun at his bedside.

Nystrom apologized and apologized and apologized.

"But no matter how many times I say sorry, he'll still be in the spot that he is," Nystrom said by phone Saturday. "It doesn't feel good to know that you're involved in something that hurt someone so seriously. But he really appreciated me stopping by, and I really appreciated him being so understanding."
