Former NHL star Johnson, 29, suffered a gash to his throat in the freak accident, according to witnesses.

The game between his new team the Nottingham Panthers and the Sheffield Steelers had to be abandoned.

Eye witnesses says players from both teams formed a ring around Johnson as apparently there was quite a lot of blood.

Around 8,000 fans are believed to have witnessed the horror collision between the two players at Utilita Arena Sheffield.

Yeah this happened to Richard Zednik some time ago. It was pretty freaky to see the blood gush from his neck.

Happened to Clint Malarchuk many years ago. His whole story is fascinating and I’ve heard his book is a good read.

That video still haunts me. He is VERY lucky to be alive.

Morgan Barron (Wpg Jets) got 75 stitches in April.

But the neck getting slashed has got to be a player's worst nightmare.

Hope he's ok. 🤞
