Maple Leafs captain John Tavares took a knee to the face from Corey Perry after he was knocked down during this play.
Tavares was taken off on a stretcher after the injury. He gave a thumbs up as he was carted off. The Maple Leafs missed their captain as they lost game 1 to the Montreal Canadiens 2-1. Hopefully he has a speedy recovery. In the meantime, things are starting to look up for Tavares.
