New York Islanders Kyle Palmeri Shrugs Off Hit That Brutally Detaches His Lip
Kyle Palmieri showcased what a tough customer he is by coming back to the game, after suffering a brutal cut. The cut was a result of a follow-through that wouldn't see him return to the bench until the 2nd period.
As you can see this isn't just a minor cut, as it went past his lip into his face.
The match between the two rival clubs is always expected to be a fierce match, and this one was no different.
Of course, every hockey player is dedicated to their team's success, and despite the cut being so prominent he'd dedicate his game to beating the Rangers.
With Palmieri absent from the ice, the Rangers would gain a 2-goal lead, and the forward's warrior nature stood out.
He'd crash the net with Brock Nelson and helped score the Islanders' second goal of the day.
Of course, that injury looks gruesome to suffer, and we're only a few days past Halloween, you can't help but think of one Batman villain here.
Unfortunately, Palmieri and Nelson wouldn't have the juice to overcome the Rangers who'd win 4-2.
But they'd do their best to keep their rivals at bay on Sunday.
Palmieri despite the gruesome injury would score 1 point( 1 A), and play 17: 11 TOI, with 23 shifts, and 4 shots on goal tonight.
If the Islanders are to keep their head above water in the Metropolitan Division, they'll need the grit that only Palmieri seems to deliver.
In the last 5 games Palmieri has 3 points( 2 G, 1 A) and a face full of stitches to show for it.
