Two weeks ago, the Flyers' Ron Sutter was inadvertently cut around the left eye by teammate Ron Hextall during a game.

Less than 10 days later, Ron's twin brother Richard required 18 stitches when he was cut around the eye by a teammate during a practice with the Vancouver Canucks. Both Ron and Richard are now playing with face shields.

Two seasons ago, Ron Sutter suffered a back injury, and less than a week later, Richard suffered a similar injury.

And last season -- less than a week after Ron suffered a broken jaw when he was high-sticked by the Rangers' James Patrick, Richard was badly cut around the mouth in a high-sticking incident and lost a couple of teeth.
