Devils F Dainius Zubrus suffered broken nose during Stadium Series game

Not only did the New Jersey lose their Stadium Series game to the New York Rangers by a score of 7-3, but forward Dainius Zubrus also suffered a broken nose during the first period of Sunday's game, according to Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger.

"I got sandwiched between two guys as they were coming together for a hit," Zubrus said. 

He did, however, manage to return to the game, much to the surprise of the Yankee Stadium medical staff. 

"I actually have a funny story in the training room," Zubrus recounted. "The Yankee trainer was watching them reset his nose with all the blood and couldn't believe he was going back out to play. Not that baseball players aren't tough, but I don't think they see a lot of that."

Despite swelling on both sides of his nose and a couple of black eyes, Zubrus will play Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

Hockey players, am I right?
