Golden Knights' Alec Martinez Says He Played NHL Playoffs with Broken Foot Injury

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alec Martinez played a significant role in the team's run to the Stanley Cup semifinals, a feat made even more impressive because he played the entire postseason with a broken foot.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Martinez opened up about the routine he had to go through to be able to play each game:

"In terms of my daily routine, it was a lot of rest and staying off it, and just managing the swelling and all that. I couldn't have done it without our medical staff. I sound like a broken record, but they were pretty incredible.
