Jonas Siegenthaler has to take faceoff during penalty kill (GIF)

It’s very rare that a defenseman would have to take a faceoff for a team, but that was the case for the Hershey Bears on Friday night.

Rookie defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler found himself hovering over a faceoff dot in his own zone during a 5-on-3 penalty kill against the Providence Bruins. After centerman Zach Sill was kicked out of the circle, Siegenthaler looked at his roommate Tyler Lewington, who was also on the ice at the time and did an “I guess I’m going to take this” shrug.

The Swiss native lined up against Ryan Fitzgerald, who won the faceoff even before Siegenthaler could move his stick.

Hershey would end up killing the penalty, but Jonas Siegenthaler will have a 0-for-1 faceoff stat line until the next time he is called upon to take the draw.
