    How Ducks’ Cam Fowler endured surgery to reconstruct his face
    ANAHEIM — It was a play Cam Fowler has probably made thousands of times. He merely stuck his hockey stick into a shooting lane in an attempt to block an opposing player’s shot from the perimeter. Ideally, the shooter wouldn’t take the shot, but if he did the puck would be deflected out of harm’s way.
    A routine play proved to be anything but ordinary on the night of Nov. 12.
