Scary Scene in the KHL as Torpedo Forward's Face Slashed by Skate

Novgorod Torpedo F Kirill Urakov's face was leaking badly after taking a skate to the chops on Friday. He was heel-kicked right in his beak by the skate of Dynamo F Ilya Kablukov in a harrowing accident.

Urakov rushed off the ice as fast as he could, leaving his equipment scattered on the ice. Understandable, probably had greater concerns in the moment.

Fortunately, Torpedo won the game in overtime by a score of 4-3 and lead the Gagarin Cup Conference Quarterfinals 3-2. They can clinch the series with a win on Sunday.
