Seeing Sidney Crosby sprawled on the ice is a sight the Pittsburgh Penguins would like to avoid at all costs.
But the Penguins captain couldn't escape a puck to the face at 2:55 into the second period on Tuesday.
With Pittsburgh on the power play, Pittsburgh forward Evgeni Malkin's pass deflected off the stick of New York Islanders defenceman Brian Strait and hit Crosby on the nose.
The Pens superstar left the ice bleeding, but returned in the second, missing only 4:43 of the period.
