Martin St. Louis leaves ice bleeding at practice

Martin St. Louis' scar collection just got more impressive. The veteran winger, who sustained a nasty slice to his forehead and nose last week at Ottawa when he fell on a tumbled official's skate blade, was just struck in the lip by a puck during morning practice at St. Pete Times Forum. St. Louis charged off the ice bleeding, followed by training staff, and the sound of stick on trash cans and walls could be heard behind him.

UPDATE: Lightning interim coach Rick Tocchet, whose mug is a bit of a war zone, too, bearing the marks of a career as a rugged player, said St. Louis needed a few stitches and will be fine for tomorrow night's game against Montreal.

Tocchet joked that eating dinner might not be so pleasant for St. Louis tonight, though. Pass the yogurt.
