Laperriere blocked a shot by Paul Martin early in the third period and there is a possible fracture of his orbital bone, above his right eye. If there is a break in the orbital bone, Laperriere could need to have a plate inserted to provide stability. Laperriere needed between 60 and 70 stitches to close the cut he sustained above his right eyebrow.
