After a skate slashed his face, Jets player Morgan Barron needed 75 stitches
Barron was acquired by the Jets from the New York Rangers last year.
On Tuesday, the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 5-1 to take a 1-0 series lead, but it might have cost them forward Morgan Barron for the remainder of the series or even the playoffs.
During the game’s opening frame, a scrum near the goal caused a skate to strike Barron in the face. Barron was back on the bench by the start of the second quarter, eager to capitalize on his upcoming opportunity.
Because it was so close, Barron says, “I was trying to determine if the puck went in.” ‘I noticed the skate coming. A bad play was being made. The important idea was that I could see with my right eye, which was my first realization.
When he re-entered the rink, a full cage was covering his head.
The Jets defeat the Golden Knights in game 1 thanks to ADAM LOWRY and Blake Wheeler.
Jets center Adam Lowry stated, “Looks like he was attacked by a shark.” “That is terrifying. A blood trail suddenly appears extending from the crease to the bench since we are all so concerned about the puck crossing the line.
In the victory, Lowry scored twice.
Rick Bowness, the Jets’ head coach, said he was not shocked that Barron returned to the game and was impressed by his tenacity and desire to do so.
“I think more his presence coming back because we all realized how bad it was, and that gave everyone a big boost,” Bowness continued.
