SCARY SCENE: Klingberg bloodied after taking a stick to the eye

Since 2013, visors have been mandatory for any new players entering the NHL for obvious safety reasons.

However, injuries are still possible, and when a stick or puck finds its way under the visor, there's always cause for concern. That's what happened to John Klingberg tonight in Chicago.

The Anaheim Ducks are visiting the Blackhawks and halfway through the first, the defenseman took an errant stick from Boris Katchouk near the eye. See below:

Klingberg had quite a bit of blood on his visor immediately as he skated off the ice holding his eye. He did not return during the first period.
