Coyotes rookie Conor Garland takes puck off face, scores, gets stitches, scores game-winner

Arizona Coyotes rookie forward Conor Garland extended his goal-scoring streak to four games Saturday night, and he did it in the most painful way.

During a power play early in the second period, he was cross-checked to the ice by Edmonton Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson. As he was getting up, a wrist shot from Coyotes defenseman Jordan Oesterle bounced off his face and into the net.
