A shark player who thought he lost his testicle gets cut off a week later

The Logan Couture center in the San Jose Sharks Center is not having a good playoff time.

Couture led a groin puck in the second game of the team's playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights and initially feared losing a testicle.

Thursday, in the fifth match, Couture took a stick against the face and lost at least two of his teeth.

The Golden Knights were called for a very high shot and Tomáš Hertl scored in the Sharks' power play.

"Puck is not lying," wrote the official Twitter account of the Sharks after the goal.

The Sharks also included a photo of the stitching teeth lying on the ice and wrote, "Yes, these are the stitching teeth on the ice pulled from the top stick."

The Sharks defeated the Golden Knights 5-2 to avoid eliminations. They are now following Vegas 3-2 in the series and are coming back to Vegas for Sunday's sixth game.
