Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane was ejected tonight after he made a brutally vicious crosscheck to Seattle's Jared McCann.
According to the NHL rulebook, a match penalty can be given on a cross-check only if the referee determines that the player intended to injure the other player with the action.
