Lindros had to be helped off the ice and would miss 18 games. Said Lindros regarding the hit, " I don't recall the hit I recall a lot of things after the hit. I'm tired, I have a headache, and things aren't as sharp as they could be." His second concussion occurred December 29^th, 1998. Lindros was hit twice on the same shift when he hit the ice trying to avoid a hit and then was checked into the boards by Jason Wiemer. He left that game and did not return but only missed two subsequent games. Lindros would suffer a third concussion on January 14^th, 2000 when he was hit by Chris Tamer after giving out a hit.
