Breaking: Drew Doughty takes Marleau's skate to the face.

Los Angeles Kings superstar defenseman Drew Doughty is probably counting his lucky stars after this play.

The National Hockey League veteran nearly lost his nose on Monday night when a battle along the boards with Toronto Maple Leafs veteran forward Patrick Marleau went terribly wrong. 

While doubting was hunching down to make a play on the puck, Marleau's skate came flying up into the air and struck Doughty in the face, slicing a nice gash open on his nose. 

Doughty's protective visor is likely the only thing that prevented this from being a much more severe incident that it was.
