Terrible news has just broken. Erik and Melinda Karlsson have lost their unborn son today. A horrible tragedy for any parent and one that nobody deserves to endure.
The Senators have released a statement.
"The collective thoughts and prayers of the Ottawa Senators organization, the city of Ottawa and entire hockey community rest with Erik and Melinda Karlsson following the loss of their son.
We ask that you respect the family's wishes for privacy during the grieving process."
Living in Ottawa, all I can say is that this is devastating. Karlsson's support for the local community has been exemplary.
I can't express the feelings appropriate in words for what I feel for Karlsson's family.
