Sportsnet reporter Anna Dua had a rough moment on Thursday night while at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Before the Rangers-Toronto Maple Leafs game, the NHL reporter faceplanted while running in the bowels of the venue, and it was caught on camera.
Dua even shared that the accident happened in front of the Rangers team as they warmed up ahead of the game.
Colleague and SN host David Amber responded to her pre-game injury report and asked, “I thought you were going to mention your injury, didn’t you wipe out 20 minutes ago?”

Dua admitted the sequence happened and answered, “I did, in front of the entire New York Rangers during their warm-up circles.
“So, once we get the footage of that, maybe we’ll be able to show all the fans at home that as well.”
“We’ve all been there,” Amber responded.
“Be well; enjoy the game. Some Original Six action tonight at Scotiabank Arena. Putting Anna Dua on blast.”
“As long as I stay on my feet,” Dua joked.
She then posted the “fail footage” of the moment on X.
Fans reacted to the stunning fall in the replies to the post.
“Anna, you took it like a champ,” one wrote.
“That was probably the most elegant fall I’ve ever seen! Lol so at least there’s that!” a second said.
“This will forever be my favourite moment of you on sportsnet,” a third commented.
