With 2:33 left in the game, Edmonton's Taylor Hall hit Minnesota's Cal Clutterbuck knee-on-knee at center ice. Hall was given a major penalty for kneeing and was ejected.
The play could also lead to supplemental discipline for Hall once the NHL reviews it.
Clutterbuck stayed on the ice, writhing in pain, before he was helped to the dressing room.
