Montreal Canadiens forward Phil Danault didn’t return to play Monday night after taking a puck to the face against the Arizona Coyotes.
Danault was struck by a Tomas Tatar shot early in the second period (video above) as he was standing in front of the Coyotes net. A Montreal trainer was seen holding a towel to the side of his face as he skated off the ice.
He assisted on Montreal’s second goal of the game by Brendan Gallagher and played 6:51.
The 26-year-old has 12 goals and 27 assists in 57 games this season.
