Corey Perry survived a bit of a scare Thursday night.
The Anaheim Ducks forward caught a broken stick blade in the face on a draw in the second period of Game 1 against the Calgary Flames.
Perry went down the tunnel, but wasn't gone for long.
Perry took a broken stick blade to the face. Walked the locker room hallway, spit out some blood and back to the bench

We can almost feel the hockey player cliches being concocted, but in all seriousness, Perry is fortunate he wasn't in worse shape.
