Unfortunately, not only did they lose 7-2, they saw one of their players leave the game after receiving a slap shot to his face.

The Sabres, who were already leading 4-1 at the beginning of the second period, were still going at it in the offensive zone, before Connor Clifton fired a slap shot, which landed right on Veleno's face.

That kind of incident is always stressful to watch for fans. Especially considering he wasn't able to get out of the ice alone.

Updates and details will come.
