Players' Teeth Shattered After Dirty High-Stick in Seattle

Hockey is a dangerous sport. Last night, we got another proof.

A gruesome incident unfolded in a game between the Kraken and the Predators.

Seattle ended up winning 4-2, but the incident took the focus away from the game.

Gustav Nyquist received Adam Larsson's stick in the mouth and lost several teeth in the incident.

Check out the video here:

Adam Johnson's tragic passing reignited talks on player safety, particularly concerning neck guards.

But do we really need to wait for another death before the NHL makes a bigger change?

Accidental high sticks happen, and they can cause a lot of damage. Nyquist's incident is only one of many, and protecting players is the only way to avoid something like this from happening again.
