Vince Dunn confirms he had five surgeries this offseason after breaking jaw in Western Conference Final

Flashback to the 2018-19 Western Conference Final… Game 3 to be exact and you may recall St. Louis Blues defenseman Vince Dunn taking a puck to the face courtesy of San Jose Sharks defenseman Brendan Dillon.

Remember this?

Dunn missed the rest of the series, but returned to the ice for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final and… well the rest is history.

Now, with the puck set to drop on a new season, Dunn confirmed that he has had “4-5” surgeries on his mouth and has five new teeth, check it out:

Dunn confirmed that his upper jaw was broken last year when he got hit by a puck. He’s had 4-5 surgeries on his mouth and has five new teeth. Asked if he’d wear a face shield, which he tried but didn’t like, he said: “I’d rather just take another puck to the face.” #stlblues— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) September 18, 2019

So… full shield now, right? Not a chance…

After breaking his jaw and losing 5 teeth, you'd think Vince Dunn would wear a face mask this season, right? #HockeyTough pic.twitter.com/01Oh4mgkTa— Ahmad Hicks (@AhmadHicksTV) September 18, 2019

Hockey guys… toughest guys on the planet.
