The Kraken’s first goal in Game 3 against the Stars on Sunday was a double whammy. Not only did it begin an offensive onslaught that led to a 7–2 Seattle victory, it also knocked Dallas’ best defenseman out of the game.
The shot from Tye Kartye hit Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen square in the cheek, sending him crumpling to the ground as Jordan Eberle buried the puck in the back of the net. The puck opened up a huge gash on Heiskanen‘s face, requiring him to go back to the locker room to get stitched up. He did not return to the game.

Longtime Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has announced that he will leave the club at the end of the season.
A member of Barcelona’s golden generation, which featured stars like Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andrés Iniesta and Gerard Piqué, Busquets won eight La Liga titles, three Champions League trophies and seven Copas del Rey.
