A scary moment took place in Wednesday night’s Avalanche-Hurricanes game when John-Michael Liles took a skate to the face.
It was an unfortunate occurrence, and was completely accidental. Liles was near the boards when Jerome Iginla tripped over the Hurricanes defenseman’s stick and went airborne. Unfortunately, while in the air, one of his skates clipped Liles right in the face.

The good news is that Liles seemed to be okay afterward, and he actually returned to the game after receiving some medical attention.
