NHL center Morgan Barron is looking like something straight out of a horror flick after taking a skate this face this week.
during the first period of his team's 5-1 win over the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, which required at least 75 stitches. But, somehow, Barron returned to the game about halfway through the second period after getting patched up!!
The resulting scar runs basically from his right eye up to the top of his forehead -- but Morgan is wearing his new addition with pride ... even cracking a smile for the cameras!!The injury could've actually been much worse ... even though that may be hard to believe. During the incident, Vegas forward Chandler Stephenson quickly reacted and was able to pull Barron off Golden Knights goalie Laurent Brossoit's skate to avoid further, serious damage.
Barron said he will be personally thanking Stephenson tonight before the puck drops -- adding he'll give him a stick tap to convey his appreciation for his actions.
