Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr has been around the NHL for a long time and suffered his share of bumps and bruises. But getting his front teeth knocked out on Tuesday night still had to hurt.
In the first period, Jagr took Alex Chiasson‘s stick to the mouth in front of the Ottawa net. He fell to the ice, visibly hurt and bleeding from his mouth. He would return later in the game in pick up an assist in the Panthers’ overtime win.
The injury also did little to dampen Jagr’s spirits. After the game, he took to Twitter asking Santa Claus for a very specific gift.
