Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Taken to hospital

Namestnikov (upper body) is being evaluated at the hospital after taking a shot off the head during Sunday's 5-1 Game 4 loss to Colorado, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Namestnikov took a Nate Schmidt slapshot off the head in the third period but was able to skate back to the locker room with some assistance, which is a positive sign. The team should have an update on Namestnikov's status after some more testing, but his availability for Game 5 on Tuesday is in doubt at this stage. He had one shot on goal in 10:05 of ice time Sunday.
