Stars’ Nils Lundkvist Leaves After Brutal Skate-Blade Scare

Nils Lundkvist’s night ended early after a frightening skate-blade incident that sent the Stars’ bench into immediate concern mode. Any time a defenseman exits after a face cut, the only thing that matters is the medical update, because everyone in hockey knows how fast a harmless sequence can turn serious. Dallas was left dealing with the kind of moment nobody wants to see, and the aftermath will matter more than the play itself.
