VIDEO: Blues' Reaves yanks out own tooth after taking big hit
To say Sunday's contest between the St. Louis Blues and Chicago Blackhawks was hard fought would be an understatement.
Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw took a run at Blues defenseman Barret Jackman.
Blues defensman Robert Bortuzzo left the contest with an upper-body injury and Blackhawks defenseman Kimmo Timonen was knocked out of the game by Blues forward Ryan Reaves.
Reaves would eventually get his just dessert though, as he took a massive hit from Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook.
After a few seconds of shaking off the big check, Reaves returned to his team's bench and presented the team's trainer with an Easter present.
Reaves would stay in the game, minus a tooth.
The forward later told NHL.com's Lou Korac that the tooth was the "Same one that I lost last time we played Chicago. It popped back out."
