A very scary scene in Sweden's top-tier hockey league, the SHL, after Rogle BK's Albin Sundsvik took a skate to the face that required several stitches.
The skate in question belonged to Brynas's Anton Rödin, who tripped over a stick in front of Rogle's net and caught Albin Sundsvik in the cheek.
Sundsvik, a 6th round draft pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2020, immediately went down on the ice. It took a while for the officials to blow the whistle to stop the play.
According to Rogle BK, Sundsvik was taken to hospital immediately after leaving the ice. Sundsvik himself said the cut was quite deep.
As for having to wait so long for the officials to blow the whistle, Sundsvik said he's not sure why that happened.
Sundsvik, who is Rogle's top scorer, intends to return to the ice immediately with a full visor. He will continue to wear a neck guard, something he encourages other players to do.
