(Yes, he lived.)

The goalie also lived. These are the only two incidents of necks getting cut by skate blades in the National Hockey League, and they happened in the same city. Weird.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Malarchuk#cite_note-7In 1995, a Swedish hockey player, Bengt Åkerblom, died of blood loss after an incident similar to Malarchuk's, as a result of Bengt Åkerbloms death it became mandatory from 1st June 1996 to wear protective neck gear for all players in the Swedish series.
On February 10, 2008, coincidentally again in Buffalo, Florida Panthers player Richard Zedník suffered an injury similar to Malarchuk after Olli Jokinen's skate blade cut the side of Zedník's neck injuring his carotid artery and barely missing his jugular vein. Upon viewing the footage of Zednik's injury, Malarchuk was taken aback, saying that he didn't think his memory of his own incident would come back after 19 years. Malarchuk also stated he would like to speak with Zednik once the time was right. [8]
After watching video of the incident, Zednik said that "once is enough". Although neck guards are not mandatory in the NHL, he intends to wear one when he plays again.
