It looked like a visor would have saved him the injury. It still would have hurt, though, getting hit in the helmet that hard.
I bet that as part of the next CBA, the NHL will make visors mandatory for new players. They'll probably grandfather in current players, though, giving them the option to wear a visor or not.
