GIF: Wild's Zucker unharmed after skate blade clips his throat

Every now and then, we're reminded of how dangerous hockey can be. This is one of those incidents. 

Minnesota Wild forward Jason Zucker just narrowly avoided a significant injury after having Los Angeles Kings forward Kyle Clifford's errant skate blade catch him just below the throat. 

Zucker stayed down for a moment following the injury, but appeared to be more shaken then harmed.
