Canadian forward for the Washington Capitals Anthony Mantha lost his hearing for six days after being hit by a puck thrown by the team’s Russian forward Evgeny Kuznetsov reports journalist Tom Gulitti on the social network
The incident occurred during the team’s game against the Florida Panthers (3:4 OT) on November 8. According to Manta, after being hit by the puck, his eardrum ruptured, leaving him unable to hear out of his left ear for six days. But now the rumor is starting to come back. He also received 4-5 stitches. The hockey player considers himself lucky. He also added that it could take up to two weeks for his hearing to fully recover. However, the injury will not prevent Mantha from participating in the match with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening Moscow time.
Alexander Ovechkin plays for Washington. The Russian, with 826 career goals in regular NHL championships, ranks second in the ranking of the best snipers in the league, behind Wayne Gretzky’s 68 goals (894).
