Jakub Lauko says he might have to put his modeling career on hold for the time being.
The Boston Bruins forward shared his first photo since he was cut in the face by a skate that forced him to leave a game Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Lauko also said he was lucky the injury didn’t end up being worse than it looks.
The incident came midway through the third period, when Lauko fell to the ice while players from both sides battled for the puck along the board near the Blackhawks bench. Blackhawks forward Jason Dickinson was pushed into the boards by Bruins rookie John Beecher and as Dickinson lost his balance, his left skate lifted off the ice and cut Lauko in the face.
Lauko was rushed off the ice and down the tunnel to the Bruins locker room with a towel.
Lauko, 23, appeared in 23 games with the Bruins last season and has played in all six games this season. He has seven points in his career.
