Report: Nathan Horton may have mild concussion

Not good news for Bruins fans and Nathan Horton, as Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli says it looks like Horton may have a mild concussion from the headshot he received from Flyers Tom Sestito in yesterday's game.

"I don't have an official update other than I think it's a mild concussion from what I heard and what I saw last night," Chiarelli said. "I talked to him again today and these things are day-to-day. It may not be, there's that gray area between when you take your impact tests and you see how it is the next day, the following day and then you make that determination. He's in that gray area."

It's not just a report anymore. Tuesday morning, Bruins doctors diagnosed Horton with a mild concussion.

As for Tom Sestito, the guy who hit Horton with a blindside hit, well Shanahan didn't suspend him or fine him or even talk to him. Here's what Shanahan had to say about the hit via Twitter: Sestito/Horton: Hit was .6 seconds after puck released. Hit makes
principal point of contact to left shoulder. Not the head. No SD. Source: https://twitter.com/#!/NHLShanahan/status/161961839465472001
