Jay Beagle gets stick stuck in visor, hilarity ensues (Video)

Here’s something you don’t see every night in the NHL: an entire stick getting caught in a player’s visor. That’s what happened to Jay Beagle of the Washington Capitals Thursday night.

During Game 1 of their series against the Penguins, Beagle collided with Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang, with Letang’s stick getting lodged in the Capitals forward’s visor. 

Beagle, as you see, tried to pry it loose and remain in the play, but realized that wasn’t going to happen and needed to skate back to the Washington bench to get some assistance from an equipment manager. Fortunately, he was OK and eventually got free from the giant splinter.

I think we all know now what will be the most popular Halloween costume in the D.C. area later this year.
