Jesse Puljujarvi may have been absent from the ice on Sunday night, but he certainly made an appearance postgame.

The Edmonton Oilers rookie sat out the team's 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings after taking a knee-on-knee hit during the club's game against the New York Islanders on Saturday, but made an appearance in the dressing room where he was seen eating pizza while captain Connor McDavid conducted interviews with reporters.

Looks like taking the night off comes with its share of perks.
