Last night's clash between the New York Rangers and the Islanders brought severe heat, especially with that brutal hit from Adam Pelech on Mika Zibanejad. The Islanders clinched a vital 4-2 victory, fueling the intense rivalry between the two teams.
In the heat of the third period, Zibanejad and Pelech collided in a way that had everyone holding their breath.
Coach Peter Laviolette didn't hold back when discussing the incident post-game, putting the blame squarely on Pelech's shoulders.
Now, all eyes are on the NHL's Department of Player Safety to see if they'll step in and review the play. It's a tense moment for both teams and their fans as they await the league's decision.
