I'm certain it was Kevin Stevens. Here is the video of his injury. Went for a seemingly routine hit and fell face first into the ice. He had to have surgery on his face afterwards. He did have another solid year and also did well in the lockout shortened season where he missed nearly half the games but if I remember correctly he was battling addictions and it was starting to affect his game.
It happened on May 14, 1993, according to Stevens' Wikipediea page:

Spoiler in case you don't want to see him hit the ice.
