Red Wings free agent try-out and Kitchener Rangers forward Brandon Robinson was hit into the boards and stretchered off the ice here at Centre Ice Arena during the Red Wings-Wild game. He's been taken to hospital for observation.

Thoughts go out to forward Brandon Robinson who was taken off the ice on a stretcher after colliding into the boards. — Detroit Red Wings (@DetroitRedWings) September 16, 2014

One of the doctors who attended to Robinson said he was moving before left the ice and never lost consciousness. — Brendan Savage (@BrendanSavage) September 16, 2014

A doctor said Robinson was taken to Munson Medical Center where he'll likely have an MRI and X-rays to check for a cervical spinal fracture — Brendan Savage (@BrendanSavage) September 16, 2014

Update: Between the Wings and hearing Ken Holland speak with the Hockey News's Ken Cambpell and NHL.com's Mike Morreale, it sounds like Robinson was alert and had movement in all his extremities, and he even was able to speak with his parents before he went to the hospital. It sounds like he basically toe-picked while trying to hit an opponent and went in head-first, but all reports seem to indicate that he's going to be okay.
