After taking a puck to his crotch - Julien Vauclair in line up

It looked awfully painful when Julien Vauclair had to leave the ice after taking a puck right into his private parts while blocking a shot in the game against ZSC. Luca Righetti, HC Lugano's head of communication, posted a picture of Vauclair's jock strap on Twitter. Ouch!

As sport.ch reports, Diego Kostner, who apparently was also injured due to a blocked shot in that game, will return to action as well.

Julio sta meglio e potrebbe giocare sabato contro il Rappi. Impressionante l'immagine della sua conchiglia. pic.twitter.com/C8uspIcBWW
