article: St. Louis Blues forward Ryan Reaves proved on Sunday that hockey players truly are some of the toughest men in sports. After being checked face-first into the glass by Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, Reaves went to the bench and pulled out his own tooth. Reaves calmly digs around his mouth until he grabs the loose tooth, pulls it out of his mouth and hands it to his trainer. St. Louis forward Ryan Reaves (pictured) pulled out his own tooth after being checked into the glass by Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook . Reaves sat on the bench as he calmly pulled out the tooth. It eventually fell into his hand (pictured above) and he gave it to a team trainer . It is unknown as to what period the check occurred in or if Reaves returned to the ice, one tooth lighter. The St. Louis 2-1 win moved the team a point ahead of Nashville for the Central Division lead with just three games left in the season. Reaves isn't the only hockey player to make headlines for being tough in the last week, however. Prior to losing his tooth on Sunday, Reaves, pictured here April 3, appeared to have a full mouth of perfectly straight pearly whites, something that's a bit unusual in the hockey world . Reaves and the rest of the Blues beat the Blackhawks 2-1 on Sunday, moving the team a point ahead of Nashville to the top of the Central Division standings . Red Wings left wing Drew Miller was hit in the face by Ottawa Senators forward Mark Stone's ice skate after a face off on March 31. the skate him him across his right cheekbone and he quickly skated off the ice to the on-scene doctor in fear that he might have lost his eye. He received between 50 and 60 stitches after the incident but the skate luckily missed his eye, according to MLive. Miller, who has the longest-running game attendance on the Red Wings team, returned to the ice for his 159th consecutive game with the team two days later on April 2 against the Boston Bruins.
