Pittsburgh Penguins forward Zach Aston-Reese received some welcome news at the beginning of the month. His broken jaw has healed enough to the point where he can eat solid foods again.
Hockey Night in Canada first reported the news on their Instagram account.
Two days after the Capitals ended the Pittsburgh’s title defense and eight days after Tom Wilson ended Zach Aston-Reese‘s season, the Penguins performed the yearly ritual that is miserable for all but one team each year: exit interviews.
Aston-Reese, injured on a controversial hit from Wilson that cost the Caps forward three games, answered questions about his recovery from a broken jaw and concussion.
According to Aston-Reese, Wilson has not reached out to him following the incident.
Another game, another big Tom Wilson hit that we’ll have to talk about for the next two days.
The target this time: Pittsburgh depth forward Zach Aston-Reese.
Let us know what you think of this one.
On Sunday, December 3, the Hershey Bears held their annual teddy bear toss game at the Giant Center.
Fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears to the game and throw them on the ice immediately after the home team scores its first goal. The stuffed animals are then donated to hospitals and local charities during the holidays.
Hershey’s teddy bear toss was initiated by a goal from Liam O’Brien in the second period. While there is nothing better than getting plunked in the head with a pink teddy bear during a goal celebration, the photos of Lucas Johansen and Mason Mitchell being swallowed whole by mountain of stuffed animals is a close second.
