As if Jack Campbell has had a hard enough start to his tenure with the Edmonton Oilers. Fresh off signing a five-year, $25 million contract as a free agent this summer, the goaltender has all but lost his starter role to rookie Stuart Skinner.
Now last night, as the Oilers were taking on the red-hot New Jersey Devils, an errant puck deflected into the Edmonton bench and catches the unsuspecting Campbell in the face.
He left immediately to the dressing room with a towel over his face, and the Devils had to provide an emergency backup just in case:
