The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames were set to renew their classic rivalry tonight in a huge game for both teams as the playoffs approach.

Unfortunately as the game has unfolded the narrative has now shifted to a terrifying event involving an Edmonton Oilers fan in the stands.

According to multiple reports the game has been temporarily stopped due to a major medical emergency involving a fan.

Fans and even players were reportedly shaken by the events that took place as medical personnel came into the arena to attend to the fan.

According to a further report it seems that the EMTs on scene were administering CPR to the fan in question.
