Viktor Stalberg played on Sunday after taking 50-60 stitches in his jaw Friday after taking a puck in his face off a shot courtesy of Ryan Getzlaf.
"It kind of hit a bad spot," said Stalberg, who used a shield that covered his jaw. "I didn't really notice it too much out there. I had a little protection there so it was fine. It's all about not getting hit there again and it will be OK." Stalberg has six goals and 17 points this season but has been held off the scoresheet in his last five games. Of course, he did have a good excuse yesterday.
