A pretty gruesome sight in Dallas tonight.
Florida Panthers top defenseman Aaron Ekblad needed to be taken off the ice on a stretcher.
Ekblad was taken into the corner and got tangled up resulting in his ankle twisting the absolute wrong way.
Image similar to Dallas Cowboy's QB Dak Prescott's injury.
Ekblad was having an incredible season with 21 points in 34 games which included 11 goals.
Check out the videos below, but be warned it's kind of tough.
