Ouch!

Puck 1 -- Teeth 0
Toronto got a scare when captain Mats Sundin was hit in the mouth with a clearing attempt by teammate Richard Jackman midway through the opening period.

"He had extensive damage to his lip, teeth and gums, upper and lower teeth," coach Pat Quinn said. "He'll be seeing a dentist.

He had a permanent plate in there that was all busted. He had a real good whack. It's split from lip to nose, including the muscle.

"He's going to miss the next little while, Saturday anyway.

There is inside and outside stitching to heal that up. It'll affect what he eats."
