Buffalo Sabres forward Jochen Hecht lost part of his right ear after being struck in the side of the head with a puck on Saturday night.
"It's not a pretty sight,'' Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said after the Sabres rallied for a 4-3 victory over Washington. "Once we get him off the (trainer's) table, and I don't think he's off yet, we'll see how he feels.''
Hecht was hurt seven minutes into the third period after the Sabres won a faceoff deep in the Capitals zone. Hecht, who wears a protective visor, was tumbling to the ice after appearing to lose his balance, and was hit by teammate Brian Campbell's point shot
