Former Gophers player injured in game for St. Cloud State, taken off on stretcher
Finn McLaughlin, who played for the Gophers as a freshman, was taken off the ice on a stretcher Saturday night.
Finn McLaughlin, a St. Cloud State defenseman who previously played for Minnesota's Gophers, sustained a serious injury during his team's 5-3 loss to Omaha on Saturday night. The sophomore was stretchered off the ice just 1:58 minutes into the first period after suffering a painful fall into the boards behind the net. His teammates immediately rushed over to assist as both teams gathered to show support.
According to sources, McLaughlin suffered a broken femur. The young athlete, originally from Alberta, Canada, played 31 games for the Gophers as a freshman last season and has contributed two goals and three assists this season.
