The Dallas Stars had yet another player take a puck to the face. With just over 16 minutes left in the second quarter during Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Wild, new forward Mikko Rantanen was on the receiving end of an arrant puck and had to leave the game after suffering the blow to his face.

Already without Jonas Brodin and Marcus Foligno for the game in Dallas, the Minnesota Wild suffered another injury. This time to its blue line, again.

Rantanen took a puck to the face off a shot from Stars defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin. The puck was deflected by Wild forward Yakov Trenin before striking Rantanen. Trainers checked on the Stars star before he exited the game on Monday. He did return to the game after a period away, this time wearing a full cage.
