Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko left their game vs the Islanders late in the third period after taking a puck to the face. The winger caught a JT Miller slapshot up high and immediately fell to the ice writhing in pain. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sportsnet/status/1725025239552205042?s=46&t=mrdZLOv32VuJKdg1blZs0w&fbclid=IwAR0XJruACpAxNqtdqUC0rkK23_Q3FlXgN0wN-m9w1YVBI-4qs0jkOuKmYio'> </a></blockquote></div> Canucks medical staff attended to Kuzmenko and helped him off the ice, he didn't return to the game which Vancouver won 4-3 in overtime. Following the game, head coach Rick Tocchet said Kuzmenko would go to the hospital but luckily seemed to avoid a worst case scenario. <q> Somebody said at least he walked to wherever he was going which is good,</q> Tocchet told reporters. <q> I think he took it right off the chin... the good thing is if there's any positive is that he walked to wherever he was going. </q> Following the game, Kuzmenko also took to his Instagram to let fans know he was okay. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/quadrellid/status/1725056758832668854?s=46&t=mrdZLOv32VuJKdg1blZs0w&fbclid=IwAR1S0YU_4_KKieI-sEVUgPXNm5pM24-lQrt_q15qid6tlBKBMHJXhGP3UHs'> </a></blockquote></div> A scary moment for the forward, but thankfully seems to have avoided any serious injury.
