The Carolina Hurricanes are dealing with yet another injury scare as star forward Seth Jarvis was struck with a high stick to the face, seemingly his right eye.
In the first period of the Canes’ Friday night game against the Vancouver Canucks, Jarvis was wrapping around the back of the Canucks’ net when teammate Andrei Svechnikov’s stick lifted and caught the winger right in the face.
Jarvis immediately went down and was writhing in pain, kicking his feet and holding his right eye.
He skated off the ice under his own power, but with a towel held to the right-side of his face.
More updates will be provided when available.
Carolina has had a laundry list of injuries this season, with eight players missing time so far, and this is now also the second scare for Jarvis who left a game earlier in the season after blocking a shot off of his right foot.
