Calgary forward Stephane Yelle was taken off the
ice on a stretcher because of an ankle injury Thursday night after
falling backward and being pushed into the boards by Bruins
defenceman Jason York.
``He went into the boards awkwardly and he jammed up his ankle,''
Flames coach Jim Playfair said. ``He'll fly home with us tonight and
we will get it checked out.''
Yelle, injured late in the second period, is in his 11th season
in the NHL.
``You really don't know what to think when something like that
happens,'' Flames forward Jeff Friesen said. ``It deflated us and we
obviously had a letdown.''
Boston won the game 3-2.
