Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron wanted to get back on the ice as quickly as possible after suffering a gruesome cut during Tuesday’s playoff game against the Golden Knights.
But before he could, he had to use his phone.
“I texted my girlfriend and parents just to make sure they knew I was OK before I went back out there,” he said after a 5-1 victory at T-Mobile Arena in Game 1 of the best-of-seven series.
