The Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets faced each other in a highly-anticipated match last night, with the Jets securing a well-deserved 3-1 win. However, the game was marred by a physical altercation between players from both teams, resulting in a heated scrum that led to a suspension.

During the scuffle, Ryan Hartman caught the Jets off guard with an unexpected hit on forward Nikolaj Ehlers, which is clearly shown in the play below. The hit has been the subject of much debate among fans and analysts alike, with some arguing that it was a mere interference penalty while others believe it was a deliberate attempt to injure.
