NHL Player Leaves Game After Taking A Skate To The Face
Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal faced a harrowing moment on Sunday night when he encountered a potentially dangerous situation involving Washington Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary's skate.
The incident unfolded midway through the second period during a puck battle along the boards between Staal and Fehervary. As they vied for control, Staal's forceful contact with Fehervary caused the latter to lose balance, leading to an unintentional kick-up of Fehervary's right foot. Unfortunately, the skate made contact with Staal's head, raising concerns among onlookers.
In response to the incident, Staal promptly headed to the locker room, leaving observers worried about the extent of the injury. Fortunately, Staal made a return in the third period, indicating that he managed to avoid more severe consequences despite the unsettling nature of the incident.
