News about Morgan Barron

In two of the 'Big Four' sports in North America over the past two weeks, two startling injuries occurred, reminding us how athletes risk injury every day. During a Guardians-Yankees game that required a stay in the hospital, MLB umpire Larry Vanover was drilled in the head by a strong rally throw. Morgan Barron of Winnipeg started his NHL playoffs by getting 75 stitches after being struck in the chest by a skate blade. DailyMail.com decided to investigate ten of the most interesting, tragic, and gut-wrenching injuries in the history of North American sports this year.

Morgan Barron, a Winnipeg Jets forward, stepped on a skate to his face during a scrum in front of the net and then skated off the ice in Las Vegas on Tuesday night. Barron was back on the ice less than a week later after receiving a total of 75 stitches in the locker room, and that this was during the NHL playoffs. Chandler Stephenson pushed Barron into Brossoit's skate, which put him on the ride side of his face, near his eye, as players fell down as Golden Knights goaltender Laurent Brossoit scrambled to keep a rebound out of the net nine minutes into the game.

In Game 1 of the Winnipeg Jets' first-round series, Adam Lowry scored two goals and Blake Wheeler had a goal and two assists on Tuesday night.
