LATEST | We now know what happened to Ethan Bear

It was a shock for everyone when he appeared with a full face shield on, especially since he had been wearing the traditional visor on Saturday. In the media availability after the practice, Bear revealed the true nature of his injury. Per the information we were able to gather, Bear had received a puck to the mouth:

Ethan Bear revealed and Rick Tocchet both stated that he was only a practice away from getting back to the line-up.

Obviously, nobody wishes to receive a puck to the face. As can be seen in the interview, Bear's upper lip was pretty beaten up as a result. There is no confirmation at this moment whether or not he'll be back in the lineup tonight, but it'll be soon enough.
