Dallas Stars defenseman Roman Polak had to cut his shift early when his stick got jammed in the glass during Thursday night's game against Colorado.
It happened in the first minute of the second period as Polak skated to center ice with the puck and sent it deep into the Avalanche zone. Polak had his stick a bit high when he tried to reverse direction, and his stick got stuck in between two panes of glass, knocking him to the ice as it caught him off guard. Polak didn't have time to get the stick out because the Avs took control of the puck and made a dash towards the Stars net, so he had to abandon it.
Polak couldn't do that again if he tried.
