The Washington Capitals and Tampa Bay Lightning also have reached out to Laing in this manner while the long-time rivals Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens are auctioning off game-worn and autographed jerseys from their contest on Jan. 19.

The 24-year-old Laing has limited movement in her arms and no sensation below her chest after fracturing and shattering multiple vertebrae when she fell head-first into the boards.
Received additional love and support today from the NHL! Thank you @TBLightning #hockeyfam pic.twitter.com/mcrLw5xYoW
