Rocket left wing Vincent Arseneau was left with a gruesome injury after a brawl with Crunch star Kale Kessy.

Officials had to separate the pair before either of them fell to the ice, with one of Arseneau’s fingers appearing to be bent the other way afterwards.

The 32-year-old could then be seen snapping it back into place as he made his way to the penalty box.

Despite attempting to correct his injury, the Canadian did not return to the action as his side went on to win 5-2.

He also missed the rematch between the two teams on Saturday, which the Rocket also won 1-0.

Fans were left stunned by the incident on social media after Friday’s clash.

Reacting on X, one supporter wrote: “That’s a hockey player right there.”

Another added: “Tell me you’re a hockey player without telling me you’re a hockey player.”

Meanwhile, a third fan also commented: “I did not need this visual.”

The Rocket, an affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, are in action once again this weekend.

They take on the Utica Comets at home on Friday before facing them away the following day.

It is not yet known whether Arseneau will make his return to the ice in either of those games.
