Brian Elliott is one tough netminder.

The St. Louis Blues goaltender took a Jason Spezza slap shot square in the mask in the third period of Game 2 against the Dallas Stars on Sunday afternoon, and the shot was so hard, it dislodged a contact lens.

His replica headgear initially required some repairs, but he was eventually able to don it again.

Elliott has worn the Curtis Joseph-inspired mask since debuting it on "Goalies Night" back in January.
