In the last minute of the first period, Darcy Kuemper leaves game after Ryan Johansen stick (accidentally) gets through mask into right eye area. Hope he is okay. Francouz in the game.

I ain't no hockey player, but it seems to me highly unlikely that trained, professional hockey player camping out in the crease pokes Avs goalie in the face with a stick by accident.
