GIF: Puck deflects into Kevin Bieksa's face, leaves game
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa was hit with a deflected puck Monday night straight in the face. Bieksa does not wear a visor and therefore is more vulnerable to serious injury.
Bieksa left the game with the help of a trainer and went straight to the dressing room.

Bieksa has since returned to the bench.
