Hold your breath, Maple Leafs fans.
A freak accident during the third period of Toronto’s matchup against the New Jersey Devils on Friday sent young Ilya Mikheyev to the hospital after his wrist was cut by a skate.

It looks like Jesper Bratt’s skate caught the hand of Mikheyev and sliced right through.
This video doesn’t show the damage post-injury, which apparently took quite a while to clean due to the blood trail he left behind.
Ice crew trying to shovel up the trail of blood left by Mikheyev all through the #Leafs zone as he fled for the dressing room. Will try to get an update on him post-game.
