Marc Staal was struck near his ear by the puck during Thursday's game, but he's fortunately okay.
Staal's future as a hockey player was put into question when he was hit in the eye by the puck during the 2013 campaign. "I thought it was a blind-side [hit]," Staal said of his most recent incident. "I thought he came across from the side and launched up into his head." Staal also has dealt with concussion problems in the past, so this could have been bad news for that reason as well. Right now though, it doesn't look like he'll miss a game over this.
