As a result, some unexpected and dramatic events can occur during the games.
In a recent incident, Josh Mahura took a puck to the eye after a shot by William Nylander. Everyone is aware that hockey is a dangerous sport, and these players go onto the ice expecting to be injured, but even having said that, getting hit in the eye is a scary situation, even if you expect it, and one no player ever wants to experience.
Despite the injury, the Florida Panthers are likely on their way to a game 2 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. However, this victory comes at a cost, as Matthew Knies also had to leave due to an injury.
Josh Mahura's departure from the game followed this alarming scene:
Not too long ago, Morgan Barron had to go through a similar situation, where he was cut by a skate blade right near the eye, but impressively, he managed to recover and come back a mere few shifts later, hockey players are simply built different and I'm sure Mahura will be able to make a quick recovery.
