OSU Defenseman Regula Hospitalized After Hit

CHN Staff Report

Ohio State freshman defenseman C.J. Regula was briefly in a Wisconsin hospital for tests after a scary hit into the boards Friday night. Regular was released late last night, according to Ohio State.

Regula was motionless for several minutes after the play. He was taken off on a stretcher. After the game, Ohio State coach Steve Rohlik said Regula was moving his hands and feet. There was no furter update as of Saturday morning.

Regula was skating into the defensive corner to retrieve a puck, when Wisconsin's Linus Weissbach hit him from behind. Regula's head went into the boards and he collapsed to the ice. Weissbach was given a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct.

The 6-foot-3 Regula has 0-3—3 in 20 games this season, with a minus-4 rating. He is a native of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. His brother, Alec, was selected in the third round of the NHL Draft by Detroit in 2018.

Weissbach was suspended for tonight's rematch by the Big Ten.
