Winnipeg Jets hockey player Morgan Barron suffered a facial injury in the first game of the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs against the Vegas Golden Knights (5: 1). This was reported on the league website.

The incident occurred in the first period when a player fell face down on the blade of opponent Laurent Brossois’ skate. Barron left the site, after which the doctors treated him with at least 75 stitches.

“They [медики] did a great job sewing me up, and the wound, obviously, did not touch my eye, ”the athlete commented on the incident. Despite the cuts, Barron was able to return to the ice in the second period, wearing a protective mask.

Barron, 24, has been with Winnipeg since the 2021/2022 season. In the regular season of the current season, he played 70 games in which he scored eight goals and gave 13 assists.
