Peverley was quickly rushed off the ice and taken to a local hospital where he was successfully treated for what a doctor called “a cardiac event.” Peverley is now in stable condition, per a National Hockey League [statement](https://twitter.com/NHL/status/443202936706174976 "undefined"). A video of the game broadcast shows Peverley being taken away from the bench after play was stopped and his on-ice teammates rushed to investigate the situation: The rest of the Stars-Jackets game was postponed in light of the incident. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/19371/rich-peverley-collapsing-dallas-stars/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/19371/rich-peverley-collapsing-dallas-stars/"},"headline":"Hockey Player 'Stable' in Hospital After Collapsing During Game","datePublished":"2014-03-11T02:10:52.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T06:41:40.029Z","description":"Stars-Jackets encounter was postponed after the incident","url":"https://time.com/19371/rich-peverley-collapsing-dallas-stars/","keywords":["hockey","nhl"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Fitzpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alex-fitzpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"World","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/world/","name":"World"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/hockey/","name":"hockey"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/19371/rich-peverley-collapsing-dallas-stars/","name":"Hockey Player 'Stable' in Hospital After Collapsing During Game"}}]}] ```
