Peter Laviolette showed some true grit during Tuesday's game in Winnipeg.

The Nashville Predators head coach took a puck to the face off the glove of Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba near the end of the first period.

Despite a nasty looking cut, Laviolette remained behind the bench, because that's what hockey people do.

Note to the Predators: don't let the coach show more heart than you.
