Taylor Hall takes brutal slap shot to the face!

When it rains, it pours for the Buffalo Sabres. On Tuesday night, the Sabres faced off against the New Jersey Devils in a battle of the last. The Sabres have lost 11 straight hockey games. The Devils have lost 11 straight hockey games at home.

One sad streak ends tonight…

However, a huge obstacle has arisen for the Sabres as star player Taylor Hall took a brutal slap shot to the face in the first period of the game. Defenseman Colin Miller snapped the puck hard from the blue line and it ended up on Hall’s face. 

Check this out: 

Hall left the game. Head coach Ralph Krueger was stuck using 11 forwards for a much-needed win. However, unexpectedly, Hall returned for the second period.

That has to motivate the Sabres to win this one, no?
