"Jack Hughes lost some teeth before he won Olympic gold for the United States. The forward who put the puck in the net in overtime to give the Americans a 2-1 victory over Canada in the men's hockey final at the Milan Cortina Games on Sunday did so with a bloody mouth and less of a bite than he began the game with."
"I looked on the ice and saw my teeth, said Hughes, who had one knocked out in an NHL game a few years ago, too. I was like, Here we go again.' The 24-year-old Hughes is a forward for the New Jersey Devils. He scored past Canadian goalie Jordan Binnington after a little more than 1 minutes of extra time."
