Viktor Arvidsson Bleeds in a Letter R After Getting Tagged by Nick Ritchie

Nick Ritchie gave Viktor Arvidsson a pretty severe hit during Monday night's Anaheim Ducks-Nashville Predators showdown.

Ritchie skated up behind Arvidsson and leveled him midway through the first period.

The hit left Arvidsson banged up and bloodied...oddly in the shape of the letter R.

The play got Ritchie ejected from the game and left Arvidsson with the head wound.

Hits like this one have left players seriously injured in the past, and Arvidsson looked a bit dazed as he left the ice, so it's possible he may have suffered more than a cut to the forehead.
