Washington Capitals left winger Andre Burakovsky was accidentally smashed in the face by a teammate while celebrating his goal in the third period of Sunday night's game against Florida.
Burakovsky's goal at 5:42 of the third period ended up being the game-winner in the end as the Caps beat the Panthers 4-3. After scoring, Burakovsky skated by the bench to receive congratulatory high-fives from his teammates, but one of them apparently went haywire. Fortunately Burakovsky was not knocked off his feet (or injured), which means we can all share a good laugh at this.
