How the Horton goal will likely be handled is that it will be credited at 0:00 of the first period.

Only a hockey player.
As for the continuation of the game, I believe the rule is that the game will be picked up right where it left off - which would be a faceoff in the Columbus end, with around 13 and change left in the first period, and a 1-0 score. The same lineups would be used, probably with an exception for the Stars to replace Rich Peverley.
I've seen hockey games postponed before, and that's usually how it picks up ... to continue the game tonight would have been unfair to Dallas, and to start over at 0 would be unfair to Columbus.
As for the important parts, glad to hear that Peverley is alert and seems to be doing well, considering what happened. Scary incident ... reminds us all that life can be very, very fragile.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like they will probably do it all over again, with a 1-0 score.

I think John Davidson did an excellent job stating why calling the game was the right decision.
Of course you have concern for Peverley and his safety. That's above all the top priority. Once he was on his way to the hospital, you move onto the second concern.
The second concern was the well-being of the players. Watching that unfold is obviously traumatic. Reports are that the players were ready to continue the game if needed, but obviously it would be impossible to be in the correct frame of mind.
The third concern, then, is logistics. They would have to reschedule their flights, their buses, their hotels (Stars), and their meals because the game was only 7 minutes into the first period. That's like starting a game at 9:30 instead of 8:00. That completely messes up their scheduling since both teams have a game tomorrow night. It is almost impossible to reschedule all of those things last minute.
So the decision was made by the league to call the game.
Also, as was wisely stated earlier today, this is about the "least critical" game the Jackets would have the rest of the season. If one has to be called, it's best that it's this one. Hopefully the team is rested and ready to battle Detroit tomorrow night. Same goes for Dallas, hoping everyone involved is recovering from this horrific experience.

Sounds like they will reset the clocks as the game never happened. three 20 minute periods, just us leading 1-0. So yes, teams can change rosters/goalies

Jack Johnson would love it, I'm sure. He'd probably log 120 minutes in the game.

Crazy stuff ... as someone mentioned, had he been anywhere else this could have turned out far different.
Tough week for hockey players/fans all over. Hope things turn out well for Peverley and family.

Thanks .... as long as we are up 1-0 I have no problem with a "reset" based on new players, but we must have that goal, it was huge for us!!!! A potential breakout game for Horton and who knows what may follow...!!!

I was not at the game but a Buffalo Sabre goalie had his neck cut open once... that game continued but it was a morgue in the Buffalo "Aud" that game from what I've been told...
Our first concern tonight is Peverley.... I'll discuss other issues in the makeup GDT.... doing that tonight is not right...

You think the Blue Jackets will still be distraught/rattled during tomorrow nights game? I know by then, tomorrow is a new day and even though it happened to the opposing player, they witnessed a scary situation. Hopefully they can stay focus and play strong against the Wings.

Wow, so if it's going to be re-played after the season…..Tyutin and Murray MAY be available.

Reports that Pevs asked, upon regaining consciousness, "How much time's left in the period?" Amazing.
Also saw on Twitter a game photog credits the medical team - said he watches them go through pre-game planning/drill/set-up every game to deal with just such a scenario.

Thanks for the kind words and well-wishes - here and in our GDT, Jackets fans.
I was fortunate to get to see the Stars play y'all at Nationwide Arena a couple of years ago, and your fans were welcoming, friendly, and hospitable. I continue to have a great amount of respect for your community there... Looking forward to the continuation of tonight's match up.

came here from the dallas board just to see if there was any other info to be gleaned from what you guys saw on the cbj feed. that was a tough thing to watch and explain to my kids watching with me.
i wasn't planning on posting, but i after reading the thread, i feel compelled to say thank you for keeping it classy.
