Anthony Cirelli's face has seen better days following run in with puck

Anthony Cirelli of the Tampa Bay Lightning was a very busy guy on Monday night. With his team taking on the New york Islanders, Cirelli seemed to be involved in all of the major plays, taking an instigator penalty and a 10 minute misconduct after fighting Brock Nelson over a hit on teammate Alex Killorn. He also put home the game winning goal in the dying seconds of the first period as the Bolts went on to win 4-1.

Following the game, Killorn posted some photos to Instagram showing Cirelli's face, which did not look pretty. Somewhere along the lines, Cirelli was hit in the by a puck. The end results was this:

Asked about the injury following the game, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said Cirelli would be ok.

"I don't think the mirror is going to be his friend tomorrow'," added Cooper.

Cooper also said Cirelli had the biggest impact on the game despite less than 10 minutes of total ice time.
