Captain Nick Mazzolini was there getting his face sewn back together after a case of friendly fire -- a teammate's aerial pass smacked him. Winger Zach McKelvie had his damaged elbow examined. And defenseman Drew MacKenzie was treated for an undisclosed upper-body injury.
Mazzolini, the league's leading playoff scorer, made it back to the ice for Alaska's commanding third period, wearing a full face-mask instead of the customary half-shield that only protects the upper half of a player's face. He was on the ice for the game-winning, power-play goal by linemate Brendan Connolly, who earlier this season took a stick to the face that resulted in a broken bone below his nose and no small amount of reconstructive dental work.
