Follow Us During the Vegas Golden Knights' game against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday, Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo had to leave the game early after taking a brutal puck hit on the side of the face by a deflecting shot off Nick Hague's stick.
Pietrangelo was bleeding profusely, but he was fine to leave the ice on his own. Given this, it does not appear to be a major issue.
However, there is no update on the severity of the injury at the moment, and we are waiting for an update from the Knights team management on the defenseman's injury.
