Hockey players are known for being tough, but Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron took things to a whole new level on Tuesday night after taking a skate to the face.
The Jets were already facing a tough task in round one of the NHL Stanley Cup Play-Offs as they faced Vegas Golden Knights, but Barron suffered a horror injury after just nine minutes following a collision in front of the net. Barron's face was gashed open by goaltender Laurent Brossoit's skate, which led to him immediately leaving the ice.
Barron required 75 stitches to patch up the wound near his right eye, but returned to the game during the second period. It was Barron's first-ever Play-Off game in the NHL, and certainly one he won't forget in a hurry.
