Broken nose isn’t slowing down Blackhawks’ Brandon Saad

Saad started to wear the helmet after taking a puck to the face during practice Oct. 7 at MB Ice Arena. He spent 2-3 hours that day at a dentist and received about 15 stitches. He skated 14:43 minutes and recorded an assist the next night in a 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Saad sat out the next two games with an arm injury before returning Nov. 14 against the Blues. He was held scoreless, but has turned things around with a goal in each of his last three games.
