After getting tangled up with Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman, Pavel Datsyuk's hopes of escaping what may be his final NHL postseason in one piece ended, as the Detroit Red Wings forward lost a tooth after getting high-sticked in the mouth.
Thankfully, Datsyuk's long-time teammate and captain, Henrik Zetterberg, was there to support him, skating to the sideboards to retrieve the lost tooth.
To add insult to injury, Datsyuk was given a two-minute minor for roughing on the play, and Hedman was not penalized.
