Video: Sabres' Lazar Clipped by Zdeno Chara's Skate

Hockey is a dangerous game and especially when the skates get flying around the face region. On Monday night we saw a scary incident occur during the Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres game as Sabres forward Curtis Lazar was clipped in the face by Washington Capital's Zdeno Chara's skate.

The play happened during the 2nd period, the Capitals were up 3-0 and Lazar was in on the forecheck trying to make a play on Chara. As he was hitting the towering defenseman, Chara lost his balance and his skate came up and booted Lazar right in the face.

Scary stuff right here:
