Sharks forward says he’s ‘fine’ after scary on-ice incident in Czechia

San Jose Sharks forward William Eklund said everything was ‘fine’ late Saturday after he appeared to sustain a serious cut on or near his left hand or wrist in Team Sweden’s exhibition game against Czechia in Brno.

Eklund was checking Filip Hronek along the boards inside the Czechia zone when Hronek’s skate came up and caught Eklund in the hand/wrist area. Eklund immediately covered up the cut and quickly skated to Sweden’s bench to receive treatment.

“I didn’t see the situation, but saw William’s reaction.
