Anne-Marie Sorvin / USA Today
The Vancouver Canucks are a defenseman short against the Nashville Predators on Sunday after Kevin Bieksa left the game in the first period when he appeared to get hit in the eye by a puck.
Bieksa went to the locker room holding a towel over his right eye. No word yet on whether or not he will return.
