Injured but unshaken: NHL coach Berube to lead team after gym mishap

Craig Berube, head coach of the team, suffered a gym accident that left him with a black eye and a scalp wound needing stitches. Despite the injury, he will still lead his players in the upcoming game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The incident happened during a workout, though details about the exact cause remain unclear. Berube, known for his tough playing career, once ranked seventh in NHL history with 3,149 penalty minutes. His players, however, took the situation lightly, finding humour in his bruised appearance.

The coach’s injury won’t keep him from his duties. He will be behind the bench for the next match as planned. The team continues to prepare for the game despite the unexpected setback.
