Edmonton Forward Takes a puck to the face

The Edmonton Oilers need all the help they can get for their playoff push and we don't need reminders for injuries to happen. They happen all the time and even small incidents during practice could end up having a negative impact on the team later.

It looks like during practice, Kailer Yamamoto was out on the ice until something troubling happened.

Kailer Yamamoto took a puck to the face and left the ice during practice after the incident.

So far it looks like Yammer is just suffering from a bloody nose, no idea if it was broken, as Principe hasn't divulged any further information.

Update:

The puck hit Yammer in the visor and in the nose and thankfully no major damage occurred.
