Edmonton Oilers’ Matt Hendricks has cup shredded by puck

“I look at the goals they got…there were two slot area goals that we were somewhat sloppy clearing the puck away”, remarked Oilers head coach Todd McLellan.

The Stars took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission when Spezza scored his 16th goal of the season off a backhand at 1:23.

Dallas appeared to take a two-goal lead at 9:31 of the second when Jokipakka shot the puck under the crossbar.

After his Edmonton Oilers dropped a 3-2 game to the Dallas Stars, the forward posted a picture on his Twitter account, showing his shattered cup.

Hendricks has two goals and five assists this season. Stars LW Travis Moen, D Patrik Nemeth and D Jamie Oleksiak were scratched….

Hendricks was positioned between his goalie and Stars defenseman Alex Goligoski when Goligoski chose to rip a slap shot towards the goal.

After the game, Hendricks shared photos of his jock, which was ruined by the shot but saved him from severe injury. He then missed the club’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday, which saw the Pacific Division club fall 6-4 on the road in Florida – now, the team has confirmed that he’ll be out for a lengthy period of time.
