The New York Islanders had a scare in the third period of Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. A deflected puck hit Islanders coach Jack Capuano in the face in the third period.

The coach was seen leaving the bench with a towel on his face. Good news for the Islanders, Capuano returned to the bench in time to see the club hold on for a 5-3 win to take an early series lead.

Even hockey coaches are tough.
