He was not unconscious. That story really got out of hand. From TSN -

Team spokesman John Rosasco told TSN that Avery did not lose consciousness and his condition was never considered life-threatening, contrary to media reports out of New York.

Avery suffered the injury some time during his 14 minutes of play Tuesday, but the Rangers are not sure when or how. The winger's pain got worse during the game and became a serious issue after the game finished.

Rangers team physician Dr. Andrew Feldman suspected a spleen injury and the pair were driven to hospital. Avery was able to walk into the hospital on his own.

Rosasco said Avery's spleen was not removed and isn't expected to need surgery but will remain hospitalized for a few days.
