Quote:
ST. LOUIS, MO -- On Monday night in Dallas, Johnny Gaudreau selflessly threw himself in front of a hard shot at the end of a tight game between the Flames and Stars, denying his opponents a chance to tie the contest.
Given the velocity of the blast, one may expect him to be a little worse for wear at practice in St. Louis on Wednesday.
Instead, he was sporting a large scrape across one side of his nose -- a souvenir he picked up after an incident in he and Josh Jooris' hotel room.
In the middle of the night, on route to the bathroom, he tried to make sure he didn't wake up his roommate but ended up causing a bit of a commotion instead.
"He was sleeping so I couldn't turn the lights on. It was pitch dark. There was a bench -- I didn't know there was a bench in the room -- I tripped right over the bench and hit my nose on the wall."
