Talented Boston Bruins forward Nathan Horton will miss the rest of the Stanley Cup finals after suffering a severe concussion following a late hit by Vancouver Canucks defenceman Aaron Rome.

Horton was carried off the ice on a stretcher and sent to hospital in the first period of Game 3 on Monday night. Boston won 8-1.

Rome was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit, in which he slammed his shoulder into an unsuspecting Horton nearly a second after the Bruins forward passed off the puck in the neutral zone.

Rome had a NHL disciplinary hearing scheduled with 11 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Horton remained in hospital overnight and was reportedly knocked unconscious by the hit. The team said he was alert and moving all extremities.

"He's been a great teammate for us all year," Bruins forward Mark Recchi said. "It's tough to see your teammate down on the ice.
