It’s a cliche to say that hockey players are tough, but moments like this prove that it’s true.
In a 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes, Daniel Sedin chased down a puck that he tipped into the Arizona zone. Defenseman Michael Stone batted the puck out of the air with his glove; unfortunately he directed it into Sedin’s mouth.
