Jeremy Aaronson, the name of the fan, was in attendance for the Kings’ opening game (against the Vegas Golden Knights), accompanied by his 11-year-old son, and this sequence occurred during the warm-up period.
An unwanted souvenir at the @LAKings game tonight. Puck to forehead and nose during warm ups. At least I heard the goal before heading to the hospital. #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/NFoatKFMky

Although the doctors at Crypto.com Arena tried to treat him, Aaronson had to head to the hospital as the injuries required surgery. In the end, he missed his Kings’ opening game…
In his son’s case, he stayed at the Kings ‘ home with some of his dad’s friends to watch the game… which the Golden Knights won 4-3.
