Former Flames defenceman Cory Sarich is recovering in a Calgary hospital after a cycling accident this week.
His agent releasing a statement Wednesday saying Sarich was airlifted to hospital after being hit by a motor vehicle in Invermere, BC.
The release said the extent of his injuries is unknown, but were not considered life-threatening.
He remains in stable condition.
The 35-year-old Sarich said it’s been “a rough couple of days and I’m grateful for the support I’ve been receiving.”
There’s no timeline for his recovery.
Sarich has spent a majority of his 15-year NHL career with the Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning.
He suited up last season for Colorado, helping the Avalanche make the post-season for the first time since 2010.
