GLENDALE, Ariz. — Calgary coach Bill Peters needed eight stitches in his left jaw after being hit with a puck during the Flames’ 6-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday.
Peters left for about 10 minutes of game time in the second period before returning.
He was hit with 16:23 left in the period and was helped to the locker room, holding a towel over his jaw. He returned without a bandage with 5:07 to play.
“I think it’s going to hurt more tomorrow, right?” Peters said after the game, the nasty cut and stitches clearly visible.
