Did you know about Saku Koivu?

The following season Koivu was among the NHL leading scorers (13 goals 25 assists and 38 points) before suffering a knee injury on December 7 1996 in a game against Chicago Blackhawks. He went on to score 22 goals and 53 assists in 81 games totaling 75 points to surpass his previous career-high. Hurricanes forward Justin Williams attempted to lift Koivu's stick but instead struck him in the eye.
