Superstar Jack Eichel shared a funny story involving Jonathan Marchessault. During a flinching contest, both players lunged forward to make the other flinch, but they hit each other by accident. As a result Kessel had a bump on his head, and Marchessault needed stitches.
Kessel's reaction was as funny as it could be:
"God damn it, eh. F*ckin Marchy headbutted me. Look at this massive egg I got on my head."
Both players still participated in that night's game regardless of their minor injuries

On a train ride following the game, Phil Kessel complained about his head and another small injury he had in the game.
Kessel believed Coca-Cola would help with the pain so he ended up drinking 4 Coca Colas. Apparently that's his secret to his ironman streak.
"After the game were taking a train to Montreal and Phil was like my head is just killing me. I gotta have a couple cokes.
These stories fuel Kessel's legendary reputation in the hockey world. We can't wait to see if he'll return later in the season to see what he does next.
