Detroit Red Wings: Best of 2015-16 Regular Season
With his NHL career winding down, Pavel Datsyuk is leaving it all on the ice. Literally.
Midway through Fridays Game 2 between the Detroit Red Wings and Tampa Bay Lightning, the Russian superstar lost a tooth when he caught an inadvertent high stick from Victor Hedman. A frustrated Datsyuk received a retaliatory roughing penalty for going after Hedman, who did not receive a penalty.

Henrik Zetterberg located Datsyuks missing chiclet in between whistles and handed it to his teams trainer.

Datsyuk eventually returned to the game.
