The good news is they appear to be okay.
Photos showed the two after the incident, seemingly on their own two feet.

It was a minor vehicle collision that William Nylander and Kasperi Kapanen were involved in leaving the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Leafs</a> practice rink. No injuries.

Exhale, folks. Hold a loved one close if you&#8217;d like. That could have been a whole lot worse, and puts the whole hockey game into perspective. You never like to see anyone involved in a car accident, and hopefully the other driver (who appears to be a Leafs fan, based on his hat) at least has a good insurance policy, because we know Kapanen&#8217;s still on his entry-level deal and shouldn&#8217;t be spending any money on car repairs.
Stay safe on the roads!
