abstract	4th round draft pick of the Quebec Nordiques in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft, Malarchuk played for the Nordiques, the Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres, posting a good record of 141 wins, 130 losses, 45 ties, 12 shutouts, and a 0.885 save percentage. However, despite having been a good goaltender, it is above all for the life-threatening injury he sustained on March 22 1989 when St. Louis Blues' Steve Tuttle's blade slit Malarchuk's throat, after Tuttle had collided with Uwe Krupp in front of the Sabres' net. A pool of blood resulted of the carotid artery cut, and Malarchuk, despite the severe blood flow, managed to leave the ice by his own. The telediffused match was interrupted and cameras pointed elsewhere when people began realizing what was happening. Spectators who attended the game were shocked, with nine faintings, two heart attacks among them. Malarchuk spent a mere night at the hospital, and resumed training 4 days later. His injury forced the NHL to institute a policy forcing goaltenders to wear neck protection to ensure similar events never happen again. A similar incident occured in 1995 when Bengt Åkerblom died in a similar incident in the Elitserien and in 2008 when Richard Zednik of the Florida Panthers had his carotid artery accidentally slit by teammate Olli Jokinen's blade. Zednik was more fortunate than Åkerblom and healed.
